Gyou are standing on a skateboard, initially at rest. a friend throws a very heavy ball towards you. you can either catch the object or deflect the object back towards your friend (such that it moves away from you with the same speed as it was originally thrown). what should you do in order to minimize your speed on the skateboard?

catch the ball

Explanation:

if you push the ball back, that equal amount of force will applied to you. however if you catch it, you absorb less of the directional energy

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods
