You already have to momentum of walking forward, and going back and forth are the same distance. If you go back then you would have to stop, turn and walk, but if you go forward you just have to walk.
Quantum Theory is commonly related to Quantum Mechanics, or the physics of sub-atomic particles. Quantum Theory defines the theories or educated ideas behind Quantum Mechanics. I believe this is the answer you are looking for.
I'm guessing that you mean like this:
-- The ruler is held with zero at the bottom, and the centimeter markings
increase as you go up the ruler.
-- You place your fingers with the ruler and the zero mark between them.
-- The number where you catch the ruler is the distance it has fallen.
Then, all we have to find is the time it takes for the ruler to fall 11.3 cm .
Here's the formula for the distance an object falls from rest
in a certain time:
Distance = (1/2) (gravity) (time)²
On Earth, the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².
So we can write ...
11.2 cm = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (time)²
or
0.112 meter = (4.9 m/s²) (time)²
Divide each side
by 4.9 m/s² : (0.112 m) / (4.9 m/s²) = time²
(0.112 / 4.9) sec² = time²
Square root
each side: time = √(0.112/4.9 sec²)
= √ 0.5488 sec²
= 0.74 second (rounded)
Answer : C. Pascal's principle.
Explaination : Pascal's principle (well-known as Pascal's law) states that if a closed container contains a fluid at rest, then a small change in pressure at one side of the fluid is transmitted to each and every part of the fluid and also to the walls of the container without any loss. In a hydraulic lift, we need the same mechanism to work and so we take the help of Pascal's principle.
Hence, the correct option is C. Pascal's principle.
