You would use
d = v0*t + 0.5at^2
Solve for t. v0 is 0, d is 18 and a is -9.81

t = sqrt(18/4.9)

The distance fallen through gravity in ' t ' seconds is

        Distance  =  (1/2) (acceleration of gravity) (t²)

           18 meters  =  (1/2) · (9.8 m/s²) · (t²)

Divide each side by (4.9 m/s²):

                           (18 m) / (4.9 m/s²)  =  t²

                                 3.67 sec²  =  t²

Square root each side:    1.92 sec  =  t  .    (rounded) 

That's not much time.  But Peter Pan never got old, so
presumably he hasn't got too much life to flash through. 
He may be OK with 1.92 seconds.  Maybe even enough
time to linger momentarily over some of the juicier parts.

How do iquantum tunel through a wall and how long will it take me?
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The phenomenon known as "tunneling" is one of the best-known predictions of quantum physics, because it so dramatically confounds our classical intuition for how objects ought to behave. If you create a narrow region of space that a particle would have to have a relatively high energy to enter, classical reasoning tells us that low-energy particles heading toward that region should reflect off the boundary with 100% probability. Instead, there is a tiny chance of finding those particles on the far side of the region, with no loss of energy. It's as if they simply evaded the "barrier" region by making a "tunnel" through it.

A proton, an electron, and a helium nucleus all move at speed v. Rank their de Broglie wavelengths from largest to smallest. Wri
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The correct option is 'c':electron,proton,helium nucleus

Explanation:

The De-Broglie's wavelength of particle is given by

\lambda =\frac{h}{mv}

Thus we can see that wavelength is inversely related to mass of the particle since 'h' (Plank's constant) and velocity is same for all the particles  

Thus we conclude that the the lightest particle will have the most wavelength

Electron being the lightest of the 3 particles will have the largest wavelength thus the correct option is 'c'. Since electron has the largest wavelength followed by proton and the least wavelength among the 3 is of helium.
