Answer:
The size will increase.
Explanation:
When you bend a plastic ruler, it's size will increase because it is elastic and will exhibit elastic deformation. When it is been bent, it will continue to stretch until it get to a point where it will not be able to regain it formal shape, it size wound of increase. Therefore when the ruler get to elastic limit and you have bend it to the point it cannot regain it's formal shape back, it will remain bent and if further force is apply on it,it will break.
Power is the rate at which work is done (2nd option)
To stop instantly, you would need infinite deceleration. This in turn, requires infinite force, as demonstrable with this equation:F=ma<span>So when you hit a wall, you do not instantly stop (e.g. the trunk of the car will still move because the car is getting crushed). In a case of a change in momentum, </span><span><span>m<span>v⃗ </span></span><span>m<span>v→</span></span></span>, we can use the following equation to calculate force:F=p/h<span>However, because the force is nowhere close to infinity, time will never tend to zero either, which means that you cannot come to an instantaneous stop.</span>
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.
