A friend throws a heavy ball toward you while you are standing on smooth ice. You can either catch the ball or deflect it back t

oward your friend. Which of the following options will maximize your speed right after your interaction with the ball? You should catch the ball. You should deflect the ball back toward your friend at the same speed with which it hit your hand. You should let the ball go past you without touching it. It doesn’t matter—your speed is the same regardless of what you do. You should deflect the ball back toward your friend at half the speed with which it hit your hand.

Answer:

Explanation:

My speed after the interaction will depend upon the impulse the ball will make on me . Now impulse can be expressed as follows

Impulse = change in momentum

change in momentum in the ball will be maximum when the ball bounces back with the same velocity which can be shown as follows

change in momentum = mv - ( - mv ) = 2mv

So when ball is bounced back with same velocity , it suffers greatest impulse from my hand . In return ,  it reacts with the same impulse on my hand pushing me with greatest impulse according to third law of motion. this maximizes my speed after the interaction.

<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

= F0 L ( 1 - 1/e )

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Work done is given as the product of force and distance.

In this case;

Work done  = ∫︎ F(x) dx  

                    = F0 ∫︎ e^(-x/L) dx  

                    = F0 [ -L e^(-x/L) ] between 0 and L  

                    = F0 L ( 1 - 1/e )

Tectonic plates move due to _____ forces.
wel
<span>Tectonic plates move because they are floating on top of the liquid mantle. The mantle itself moves due to convection currents: hot rock rises, gives off some heat, then falls. This creates vast swirls of moving liquid rock under the crust of the earth, which jostles the plates of crust on top.
