Answer: catching the ball is a better choice.

Explanation:

The collision of 2 objects involves involves large impact force since the force is inversely proportional to the time in which the momentum of the object changes.

Mathematically

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}

If we catch the ball we increase the time in which the momentum of the ball is decreased thus the impact force that acts on us is lower as larger time is allowed for the ball to decrease it's momentum.

If we allow the ball to hit us the momentum of the ball changes in a short period of time thus applying a large impact force on our body thus increasing the chances of toppling.

Calculate the magnitude and the direction of the resultant forces​
snow_tiger [21]

answer:

resultant = 127.65 in the positive direction

explanation:

F1 = 50N , F2 = 40N, f3 = 55N , f4 = 60N

Fy = 50 sin 50 = 50 × -0.26 = -13

Fx = 40 cos 0 = 40×1 = 40

fx = 55 cos 25 = 55×0.99 = 54.45

Fy = 60 sin 70 = 60 × 0.77 = 46.2

resultant = -13+40+54.45+46.2 = 127.65 in the positive direction

Visually, how can you distinguish between an ac and dc power supply?
Temka [501]

Answer:

By the use of slow motion camera.

Explanation:

Visually, it is very hard to differentiate between an ac and dc power supply. But Since, we that In Ac supply polarity changes 100 times in a second ( because frequency of ac supply is 50 Hz generally). Whereas, Dc gives a steady power supply. So, in slow motion camera we can easily capture the flickering light tubes which won't happen in case of dc supply.
