A 0.6 kg basketball moving 7.2 m/s to the right collides with a 0.04 kg tennis ball moving 22 m/s to the left. After the collision, the tennis ball is moving
32.7 m/s to the right. What is the velocity of the basketball after the collision?
Assume an elastic collision occurred.
A. 10.9 m/s to the right
B. 10.9 m/s to the left
C.3.6 m/s to the left
D. 3.6 m/s to the right

W= fd
where f is an applied force and d is the distance over which it is applied. when a parachuting skydiver is at constant velocity, he is experiencing "terminal velocity", the point at which his acceleration down is canceled out by air resistance. that means that the resisting force of the air is equal to his weight, but in the opposite direction. with this, we can solve for the work done by the force.
w = fd
w = (92.0)(9.81 m/s^2) (325)
w= 2.93 x 10^5 j
the value for work in this case is positive because it is pushing up on the skydiver, who has a downward force of gravity.
therefore the answer is 2.93 x 10^5 j
