Let's take the analogy of the baseball pitcher a step farther. When a baseball is thrown in a straight line, we already said that the ball would fall to Earth because of gravity and atmospheric drag. Let's pretend again that there is no atmosphere, so there is no drag to slow the baseball down. Now, let's assume that the person throwing the ball throws it so fast that as the ball falls towards the Earth, it also travels so far, before falling even a little, that the Earth's surface curves away from the ball's path.
In other words, the baseball falls as it did before, but the ball is moving so fast that the curvature of the Earth becomes a factor and the Earth "falls away" from the ball. So, theoretically, if a pitcher on a 100 foot (30.48 m) high hill threw a ball straight and fast enough,the ball would circle the Earth at exactly 100 feet and hit the pitcher in the back of the head once it circled the globe! The bad news for the person throwing the ball is that the ball will be traveling at the same speed as when they threw it, which is about 8 km/s or several times faster than a rifle bullet. This would be very bad news if it came back and hit the pitcher, but we'll get to that in a minute.
To solve this problem we will apply the momentum conservation theorem, that is, the initial momentum of the bodies must be the same final momentum of the bodies. The value that will be obtained will be a vector value of the final speed of which the magnitude will be found later. Our values are given as,
Using conservation of momentum,
Solving for 
Using the properties of vectors to find the magnitude we have,
Therefore the magnitude of the velocity of the wreckage of the two cars immediately after the collision is 12.4135m/s
Answer:
B.
Velocity describes how fast something is going, whereas Speed describes how fast something is going and in which direction.
Explanation:
. If the above statement is true, then describe an example of such a motion. ... b. What was the displacement for the entire trip? 0 miles (You finish where you started) ... Speed is a quantity that describes how fast or how slow an object is moving.
it is no longer and electromagnetic wave.
