Three chairs were rolling across a flat office floor. The blue and red chairs are the same mass, and they have more mass than th
e yellow chair. Each chair was hit by another chair, but not from the same direction. Use the information in the diagram to answer.
Which chair(s) experienced the strongest force when hit? How do you know?
a
The blue and red chairs experienced the strongest force because they are both more massive than the yellow chair and they changed speed by the same amount.
b
The red chair experienced the strongest force because it is as massive as the blue chair and has the highest ending speed.
c
All three chairs experienced the same force because they changed speed by the same amount.
d
The blue chair experienced the strongest force because it takes more force to slow an object than it takes to make it go faster.

Answer:
Option A is correct.
(The faster object encounters more resistance)
Explanation:
Option A is correct. (The faster object encounters more resistance)
Air resistance depends on various factors:
- Speed of the object
- Cross-sectional area of the object
- Shape of the object
Formula:
As the speed of the object increases the amount of Air resistance/drag increases on the object, as the above formula shows direct relation between Air resistance/drag and velocity i.e F ∝ v^2.
