people wearing prism goggles, which shift the visual world left or right by small, quickly adapt to the distortion. suppose you were wearing goggles that completely reversed everything along the left-right dimension, as if you were viewing the world in a mirror, with objects to your right appearing to be on your left, and objects appearing to be on your left appearing to be on your right. would you be able to adapt to this sort of distortion? explain your answer.

9. A 60 kg football receiver starts from rest, accelerating at a rate of 0.36 g’s for 1.42 seconds until he runs as fast as he can. A ball of mass 0.25 kg is thrown, and the player catches the ball 3.35 seconds after the play starts. If the ball is travelling at 16 m/s when the player catches it, (a) how far down field did the player catch it, (b) what will the player’s final speed be after catching the ball, (c) what are the kinetic energies of the ball and player separately before the catch, and (d) what is the kinetic energy of the ball – player system after the catch? (e) Compare your results of (c) and (d) and explain.

A 540-g squirrel with a surface area of 875 cm2 falls from a 5.2-m tree to the ground. Estimate its terminal velocity. (Use the drag coefficient for a horizontal skydiver. Assume that the squirrel can be approximated as a rectanglar prism with cross-sectional area of width 11.2 cm and length 22.4 cm. Note, the squirrel may not reach terminal velocity by the time it hits the ground. Give the squirrel's terminal velocity, not it's velocity as it hits the ground.)


What will be the velocity of a 54.0-kg person hitting the ground, assuming no drag contribution in such a short distance?
