In empty space probably means, there is no force on the ball.

(This assumption is not quite correct since there is still the force of gravity between the ball and the astronaut, but this force is very very small and can be neglected.)

Assuming there is no force on the ball, Newtown's 1st law says: When viewed in an internal frame of reference, an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a force.
 
This means:
If there is no force on the ball, there will be no acceleration on the ball either.
If the acceleration is zero, the velocity of the ball never changes.

MAVERICK [17]

A textbook would hit the ground first


Factors:

-Textbook weighs most

-Pillow is flat and fluffy not very aerodynamic) also is very light

-Paper airplane will glide to the ground do to its wings and will hit the ground last

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

523269.9\ \text{N/m}

Explanation:

q = Charge

r = Distance

q_1=25\ \text{C}

r_1=3000\ \text{m}

q_2=40\ \text{C}

r_2=850\ \text{m}

The electric field is given by

E=E_1+E_1\\\Rightarrow E=k(\dfrac{q_1}{r_1^2}+\dfrac{q_2}{r_2^2})\\\Rightarrow E=9\times 10^9\times (\dfrac{25}{3000^2}+\dfrac{40}{850^2})\\\Rightarrow E=523269.9\ \text{N/m}

The electric field at the aircraft is 523269.9\ \text{N/m}

In a perfectly elastic collision between two perfectly rigid objects
ipn [44]

Both the total momentum and the total kinetic energy are conserved

Explanation:

- In a collision between two or more objects, if there are no external forces acting on the system (isolated system), the total momentum of the objects is always conserved. This is called principle of conservation of momentum, and can be written as follows:

mu+MU = mv+MV

where

m, M are the masses of the two objects

u, U are the initial velocities of the two objects

v, V are the final velocities of the two objects

- The total kinetic energy, however, is not always conserved. In fact, we have two types of collision:

1) In a perfectly elastic collision, the total kinetic energy of the objects is conserved. This means that we can write the following equation:

\frac{1}{2}mu^2 + \frac{1}{2}MU^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2+\frac{1}{2}MV^2

2) In an inelastic collision, the total kinetic energy of the object is NOT conserved. This means that part of the total kinetic energy is "lost", converted into other forms of energy (mainly thermal energy, due to the presence of frictional forces within the system). The most extreme case is called perfectly inelastic collision, in which the two objects stick together after the collision, and there is the maximum loss of kinetic energy.
