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.

If the distance between slits on a diffraction grating is 0.50 mm and one of the angles of diffraction is 0.25°, how large is th
Trava [24]

Answer:

-  path differnce = 2.18*10^-6

-  1538 lines

Explanation:

- The path difference for the waves that produce the pattern of diffraction, is given by the following formula:

path\ difference\ = dsin\theta           (1)

d: separation between slits = 0.50mm = 0.50*10^-3 m

θ: angle of a diffraction = 0.25°

Then, the path difference is:

path\ difference\ =(0.50*10^{-3}m)sin(0.25\°)=2.18*10^{-6}m

- The maximum number of bright lines are calculated by using the following formula:

m\lambda = dsin\theta           (2)

m: order of the bright

λ: wavelength = 650nm

The maximum bright is calculated for an angle of 90°:

m=\frac{(0.50*10^{-3}m)sin90\°}{650*10^{-9}m} \approx 769

The maxium number of bright lines are twice the previous result, that is, 1538 lines

The Earth is constantly spinning on its axis, like you might spin a basketball on your finger. It is this spinning of the Earth
mash [69]

<u>Answer:</u>

The spinning of the earth around its own axis causes day and night.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Earth has two types of motions. It spins around its own axis causing day and night every 12 hours and completes a rotation in 23.93 hours that make a full day. The part of the earth that faces sunlight during spinning experiences day and the other part has night.  It also rotates around the sun and completes one rotation in 365 days that makes a year.
