As you stand on the rear outside deckwatching the receding Seattle skyline, the ferry travels at a constant velocity. Whileleaning over the rail, you accidentally drop an apple. Neglect air resistance. Describethe path of the falling apple as seen by:a. Youb. A seal relaxing on a nearby anchored (stationary) boat.Explain your answer for both parts.arrow_forwardWhen baseball players throw the ball from the out eld, they usually allow it to take one bounce before it reaches the in eld because they think that the ball will arrive sooner that way. Suppose that the angle at which a bounced ball leaves the ground is the same as the angle at which it is thrown but the ball's speed after the bounce is one-half of what it was just before the bounce. (a) Assume that the ball is always thrown with the same initial speed. At what angle should the elder throw the ball to make it go the same distance D with one bounce as a ball thrown upwards at 45 with no bounce? (b) Determine the ratio of the time intervals for the two paths. Is it better to throw the ball on a bounce?arrow_forward
