At t =0, the velocity of A is greater than the velocity of B.
We are told in the question that the spacecrafts fly parallel to each other and that for the both spacecrafts, the velocities are described as follows;
A: vA (t) = ť^2 – 5t + 20
B: vB (t) = t^2+ 3t + 10
Given that t = 0 in both cases;
vA (0) = 0^2 – 5(0) + 20
vA = 20 m/s
For vB
vB (0) = 0^2+ 3(0) + 10
vB = 10 m/s
We can see that at t =0, the velocity of A is greater than the velocity of B.

Read each question carefully. Show all your work for each part of the question. The parts within the question may not have equal weight. Spacecrafts A and B are flying parallel to each other through space and are next to each other at time t= 0. For the interval 0 <t< 6 s, spacecraft A's velocity v A and spacecraft B's velocity vB as functions of t are given by the equations va (t) = ť^2 – 5t + 20 and VB (t) = t^2+ 3t + 10, respectively, where both velocities are in units of meters per second. At t = 6 s, the spacecrafts both turn off their engines and travel at a constant speed. (a) At t = 0, is the speed of spacecraft A greater than, less than, or equal to the speed of spacecraft B?
The momentum of the rolling ball will have less momentum than before the collision and the stationary ball will have more momentum after the collusion.
Speed of any freely falling object is always same. Provided, both are left to fall from the same height. If you perform this experiment in a perfect vacuum or near vacuum laboratory, both of them will reach ground with same velocity this is because there is no resistance to their motion. This is always true no matter where you go and perform this experiment.
It can be easily proved from conservation of mechanical energy. Why conserving energy? because there are no forces acting on the freely falling objects other than conservative force(mg).
Answer:
3099 J
Explanation:
The increase in thermal energy corresponds to the mechanical energy lost in the process.
The mechanical energy is given by the sum of gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy of the fireman:

At the top of the pole, the fireman has no kinetic energy, so all his mechanical energy is just potential energy:

When the fireman reaches the bottom, he has no gravitational potential energy, so his mechanical energy is just given by his kinetic energy:

So, the loss in mechanical energy was

and this corresponds to the increase in thermal energy.
