Which kind of investigations allow for the control of variables

The man fires an 80 g arrow so that it is moving at 80 m/s when it hits and embeds in a 8.0 kg block resting on ice. how far will the block slide on the ice before stopping? a 7.1 n friction force opposes its motion.

An object is dropped from a tower, 400 ft above the ground. the object's height above ground t seconds after the fall is s(t)equals400 minus 16 t squared. determine the velocity and acceleration of the object the moment it reaches the ground. the velocity of the object the moment it reaches the ground is nothing ft/s.

Ahot-air balloonist, rising vertically with a constant speed of 5.00 m/s releases a sandbag at the instant the balloon is 40.0 m above the ground. after it is released, the sandbag encounters no appreciable air drag. compute the velocity of the sandbag at 0.250 s after its release.
