Well I'm 100% sure the kinetic energy of the ball is transferred into the catcher. The displacement is 1.9cm which is 0.019m. Mb=0.0077Kg (mass of ball)...
Ahh, that makes a lot of sense, my calc shows X1=6, which is probably 6+ some bugged value, and X2=i2 which is probably 6(which is bugged out) +i2, thanks a lot!
Ohh, I'm using a SHARP calculator that can use Quad formula by plugging in A,B,C of quadratic equation (it's never given me a wrong answer before), when I plug in 2.5 -30 and 100 I get i2 and what appears to be 6 (my screen is broken, but I can assure you it is a 6). When I Try my own quad...

There is a speedy car chase! A thief is getting away from a police officer. The distance between them at the start is 100m. The thief starts to accelerate at 5.0m/s^2 [F] from rest. Meanwhile the police is chasing him at its max velocity of 30m/s (sad... I know XD). Show that...
I've been searching around the web to figure out why photons shift towards the longer wavelengths as they travel from stars and other light sources but I haven't figured out why they loose energy as they travel ( and after reading some web pages I was told that they don't even loose the energy...
