Two spheres of equal mass, A and B, are projected off the edge of a 1.0 m bench. Sphere A has a horizontal velocity of 10 m/s
and sphere B has a horizontal velocity of 5 m/s. __ 5. If both spheres leave the edge of the table at the same instant, sphere A will land a. at some time after sphere B. b. at the same time as sphere B. c. at some time before sphere B. d. There is not enough information to decide.
__ 6. If both spheres leave the edge of the table at the same instant, sphere A hits the floor at the spot marked X. Sphere B will hit the floor a. at some point between the edge of the table and X. b. at some point past X. c. at the same distance from the table as X. d. there is not enough information to decide.
the above calculation is based on Young’s double slit experiment where the two slits provide two coherent light sources which results either constructive interference or destructive interference when passing through a double slit.
