Question

part b experiment by hanging your first object (object 1) on the hook. hold on to the cardboard, and position the cardboard and string so the object dangles just off the edge of the table. then let go of the cardboard. if it moves, stop it when it reaches the edge of the table. repeat the steps by replacing object 1 with object 2 on the hook. finally, hang object 1 and object 2 together on the hook and repeat the steps. what do you observe when you hang different objects from the hook? what happens when two or more objects are on the hook together?

Explanation:

When hanging different single - objects, the cardboard's movement (if any) depends on the object's weight and the friction between the cardboard and the table. When two or more objects are hung together, the combined weight may cause the cardboard to move more quickly or with greater force if the total weight exceeds the frictional force holding the cardboard in place.

Answer:

When hanging different single objects, the cardboard may or may not move depending on the object's weight and friction. When two or more objects are on the hook together, if the combined weight overcomes the frictional force, the cardboard will move more significantly or with greater acceleration.
