Explain how class (static) variables and methods differ from their instance counterparts. Give an example of a class that contains at least one class variable and at least one class method. Explain why using a class variable and method rather than an instance variable and method would be the correct choice in the example you select.

Implement all the classes using Java programming language from the given UML Class diagram. Note: This problem requires you to submit only one class: Ball.java. Do NOT include "public static void main()" method inside all of these classes. Graders will be testing your classes, using the unit-testing framework JUnit 4. A class called Ball is designed as shown in the class diagram. The Ball class contains the following private instance variables: x, y and radius, which represent the ball's center (x, y) co-ordinates and the radius, respectively. xDelta (Δx) and yDelta (Δy), which represent the displacement (movement) per step, in the x and y direction respectively. The Ball class contains the following public methods: A constructor which accepts x, y, radius, speed, and direction as arguments. For user friendliness, user specifies speed (in pixels per step) and direction (in degrees in the range of (-180°, 180°]). For the internal operations, the speed and direction are to be…
Problem B Now we are going to use the design pattern for collecting objects. We are going to create two classes, a class AmazonOrder that models Amazon orders and a class Item that models items in Amazon orders. An item has a name and a price, and the name is unique. The Item class has a constructor that takes name and price, in that order. The class also has getters and setters for the instance variables. This is the design pattern for managing properties of objects. The setName() method should do nothing if the parameter is the empty string, and the setPrice() method should do nothing if the parameter is not positive. The class also has a toString() method that returns a string representation for the item in the format “Item[Name:iPad,Price:399.99]”. For simplicity, we assume an Amazon order can have at most 5 items, and class AmazonOrder has two instance variables, an array of Item with a length of 5 and an integer numOfItems to keep track of the number of items in the…
Design and implement a class called Car that contains instance data that represents the make, model, and year of the car (as a String, String and int value respectively). Define the Car constructor to initialize these values (in that order). Include getter and setter methods for all instance data, and a toString method that returns a one-line description of the car of the form make-model (year)for example:Ford-Thunderbird (1955)
Question 3:1. Explain the importance of method signature in method overriding.2. The system might want to use an overridden method (function) with a common signature across therelevant classes Seller, Dealer, Buyer, and distinct classes Car and Invoice for maintaining thefinances. Details of the classes can be seen in Table 1. Explain with proper syntax as to how this canbe achieved using object-oriented programming.3. Write Java code (for the methods only) that implements the method with the same signature for eachclass with the following details:a. Calculates the commission earned by the dealer. A dealer charges 1% commission eachto the buyer and seller on sale price of the car.b. The profit or loss for the seller. A seller earns profit (incurs loss) computed as thedifference between the sale and purchase price of the car. Sales Tax is deducted at therate of 17% on the profit earned. No sales tax is charged in case of loss. The methodshould display an appropriate message…
