⇒v=2m/s
Answer:
To decide where the balls land, we need to determine how long the balls are in the air. Both balls will take 2 seconds to hit the ground.
Explanation:
1) Time played forward : gravity & drag forces are in opposite directions so it takes a longer time to reach the ground. 2) Time played backward : gravity & drag forces are in the same direction so it takes a shorter time to reach the ground.
Answer:
Explanation:
To stop a ball with high momentum in a small-time imparts a high amount of impact on hands. This is the reason for the stinging of hands.
The momentum of the ball is due to the mass and velocity. To prevent stinging in the hand one needs to lower his hands to increase the time of contact. In this way, the momentum transfer to the hands will be lesser.
Speed is the rate at which something covers a distance; velocity is the same but it takes into account whether it goes forwards or backwards; and acceleration is the rate of an increase in speed.
