High-speed stroboscopic photographs show that the head of a golf club of mass 200 grams is traveling at 55.0 m/s just before it strikes a 46.0-gram golf ball at rest on a tee. After the collision, the clubhead travels (in the same direction) at 40.0 m/s. Find the speed of the golf ball just after impact

If we went back in time 10 billion years, would we expect Hubble's constant to be identical to the present-day Hubble constant?
A) Yes, a constant never changes. B) No, Hubble's constant is roughly equal to 1 divided by the age of the universe, and 10 billion is a substantial enough number to notice a difference. C) If we went back further in time, it would be different, but 10 billion years is not enough. D) It would only change if we went 10 billion years into the future.
