A person in the passenger basket of a hot-air balloon throws a ball horizontally outward from the basket with a speed of 10.0 m/s. What initial velocity (magnitude and direction) does the ball have relative to a person standing on the ground if the hot-air balloon is rising at 6.0 m/s relative to the ground during this throw?

Taylor's experiment: 1. accurately measured the speed of light 2. locked together the phases of two light sources so that the interference pattern would not shift 3. showed that man's reaction time was much slower than the speed of light 4. showed that individual photons have wave characteristics

Aperson gives a shopping cart an initial push along a horizontal floor to get it moving, and then lets go. the cart travels forward along the floor, gradually slowing as it moves. consider the horizontal force(s) on the cart while it is moving forward and slowing. which of the following statements is correct? (a) both a forward and a backward force are acting on the cart, but the forward force is larger. (b) only a forward force is acting which diminishes with time. (c) both a forward and a backward force are acting on the cart, but the backward force is larger. (d) only a backward force is acting, no forward force.
