A ball dropped from height of 4.00m makes a perfectly elastic collision with the ground. Assuming no mechanical energy is lost due to air resistance: (a) Show that the ensuing motion is periodic
(b) Determine the period of the motion
(c) Is the motion simple harmonic? Explain.

when jerome paddle in flowing river towards east the net speed of jerome will increase

so the net speed of jerome will be given as

now the speed of paul will be same as it is given as he is running on the ground

so

so here we can say since the speed of jerome is more so he will win the race

now as we know the distance so the time difference is given as

so jerome will reach first and the time difference will be 203.55 s or 3.4 min

i think the answer is tomato juice? not entirely sure though

i would say

b. a lightning bug, plug of grass, and a worm
