Your teacher has asked you to perform an experiment to see if the shape of objects, alone, affects the motion of objects. which of the following would be the best experiment to perform? a. apply the same amount of force to balls of different masses. b. apply the same amount of force to a ball, cylinder, cube, and pyramid, each of a different mass. c. apply the same amount of force to a ball, cylinder, cube, and pyramid, each of the same mass. d. apply different amounts of force to the same ball.

The correct answer to the question: Which of the following would be the best experiment to perform, would indeed be, C: Apply the same amount of force to a ball, cylinder, cube, and pyramid, each of the same mass.

Explanation:

The reason for this being the answer comes from the request of the teacher. He wants to know if the shape of an object, and only that variable, will affect the object´s motion. As such, there are several things to keep in mind. One, that the objects selected for the trial, need to be different in shape; otherwise you would not be meeting the desired purpose of the test. Second, they must all be equal in mass, otherwise there would still be a new variable to think about for the test that has a very specific purpose, and what you want to do is minimize the variables. Third thing is, that the force used on the object, must be the same; otherwise another new variable would emerge. The one option that meets the requirements to answer the request from the teacher is, C.

facts: the 14th amendment

the 14th amendment addresses citizenship rights and equal protection of the laws.

the 14th amendment was intended to protect the rights of former slaves after the american civil war.

the 14th amendment was approved by congress in june of 1866 and ratified by the states on july 9, 1868.

the 14th amendment establishes that all persons born in the united states are citizens and are guaranteed all the rights of citizenship.

the 14th amendment establishes that the law protects all citizens equally.

in this case the passage of the 14th amendment   that was violated was the last part in which it states that there is equal protection of the law.
