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.

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The box of rocks will have depression which can be seen without touching the box.

Explanation:

The density of rocks is very large as compared with napkins. So, the weight of the rocks will be much more greater than that of napkins.

As both boxes have same volume the heavier box will show depression on the lower surface as compared to the lighter box. So, the box of rocks will have depression which can be seen without touching the box.
