I'm really starting to love plants and have such a great facination and admiration for them. What interests me is their productive role in our enviroment ( not interested in enviromental issues) such as providing us with food, medicines and their natural healing properties. I have read a little on ethnobotany and find it facinating but don't wish to specialize in it. Also their uses in the skin care/beauty/aromatherapy industry.

I also would be interested in learning anything about their aesthetic beauty ie why they are different colours, why they produce fragances. Their secret little world like their senstivity to stimuli and of course the usual stuff like breading and gentetics.

Would any of these topics be covered in a botany degree? What actually is covered? Given my above interests, would botany be a ideal path for me? A friend suggested I study horticulture but I have no interest in planting and landscaping.

What happens when a lighter ball hits a stationary heavier ball??

Assuming that it is pure energy transfer, meaning no energy lost to friction, sound energy, heat energy or others. Will the lighter ball rebounce or not? After you have answered, pls check:

==>If you say that it will rebounce, then Newton said that when object A acts a force on object B, object B acts an equal and opposite force on object A. So shouldn't this force and the force the lighter object originally had balance out one another (just like when the two balls are of the same mass).

==>If you say it will not rebounce, then why is it that when you drop a ball on the Earth, it will bounce back to its original height assuming no energy lost when bouncing? Shouldn't it just bounce the amount the Earth moved (which is insignificant to the human eye)?
