Two identical balls are at rest and side by side at the top of a hill. you let one ball, a, start rolling down the hill. a little later you start the second ball, b, down the hill by giving it a shove. the second ball rolls down the hill along a line parallel to the path of the first ball and passes it. at the instant ball b passes ball a:
a. it has the same position and the same velocity as a. b. it has the same position and the same acceleration as a. c. it has the same velocity and the same acceleration as a. d. it has the same displacement and the same velocity as a. e. it has the same position, displacement and velocity as a.

Option b. it has the same position and the same acceleration as A

Explanation:

Let's analyze every statement:

a. it has the same position and the same velocity as A

In the instant where B passes A, they Do have the same position. Velocity however, cannot be the same because if they were, ball B would never pass ball A. So, this is false.

b. it has the same position and the same acceleration as A

As we said in the previous option, the position is the same. The acceleration is gravity for both balls, so this is true.

c. it has the same velocity and the same acceleration as A

Acceleration is the same but velocities are not, so this is false.

d. it has the same displacement and the same velocity as A

The distance they have traveled is the same, so the displacement is the same, but the velocity is not, so this is false.

e. it has the same position, displacement and velocity as A

The position and displacement is the same but not velocity, so this is false.

Only option b is true.

hi,

what occurs during a solar eclipse?

there are small tides across earth.

the moon is between earth and the sun.

p.s. im not sure if the first answer is correct because during a solar ecliphse there are spring tides and i dont know if they are the same.
