Several large firecrackers are inserted into the holes of a bowling ball, and the 6.3 kg ball is then launched into the air with a speed of 10.4 m/s at an angle of 43° from the horizontal. the firecrackers explode at the peak of the trajectory, breaking the ball into three pieces. a 1.8 kg piece travels straight back horizontally with a speed of 2.2 m/s. a 1.6 kg piece travels straight up with a speed of 1.8 m/s.

Many machines- including inclined planes such as ramps- increase the strength of the force put into the machine but decrease the distance over which the force is applied. true or false

Imagine you are riding on a yacht in the ocean and traveling at 20 mph. you then hit a golf ball at 100 mph from the deck of the yacht. you see the ball move away from you at 100mph, while a person standing on a near by beach would observe your golf ball traveling at 120 mph (20 mph + 100 mph). now imagine you are aboard the hermes spacecraft traveling at 0.1c (1/10 the speed of light) past mars and shine a laser from the front of the ship. you would see the light traveling at c (the speed of light) away from your ship. according to einstein’s special relativity, how fast will a person on mars observe the light to be traveling? a) 0.1c (1/10 the speed of light) b) c (the speed of light) c)1.1c (c+0.1c)
