Answer:
The final velocity of the thrower is
and the final velocity of the catcher is
.
Explanation:
Given:
The mass of the thrower,
.
The mass of the catcher,
.
The mass of the ball,
.
Initial velocity of the thrower, 
Final velocity of the ball, 
Initial velocity of the catcher, 
Consider that the final velocity of the thrower is
. From the conservation of momentum,

Consider that the final velocity of the catcher is
. From the conservation of momentum,

Thus, the final velocity of thrower is
and that for the catcher is
.
Answer:
Option B
Explanation:
Gravitational force is a force that attracts two bodies (with a mass) towards each other. If an object has a higher mass, the gravitational pull will be greater.
According to Newton’s inverse square law:
<em>"The gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two bodies."</em>
About this question, the greater the distance between two gravitating bodies, the weaker is the gravitational force between them.
The correct answer would be the last one
<u>Answer </u>
A. that the initial gravitational potential energy of the masses transformed into kinetic energy of the paddles and then to thermal energy in the water
<u>Explanation</u>
James Joule allowed some water to fall from a height of 1 foot. the water would turn a paddle wheel at the bottom causing a temperature of water to raise.
The height form which the water fell, mass and the temperature of water was measured and used to calculate mechanical equivalent of heat.
From the choices given the best answer is A. that the initial gravitational potential energy of the masses transformed into kinetic energy of the paddles and then to thermal energy in the water.
Answer:
a) Linear equation
Explanation:
Definition of acceleration

if a=constant and we integrate the last equation

So the relation between the time and the velocity is linear. If we plot the velocity in function of time, the plot is a line, and the acceleration is the slope of this line.
