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.

Which describes an object in projectile motion? Select three options.
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Description of an object in projectile motion is;

  • Gravity acts to pull the object down.
  • The object’s inertia carries it forward.
  • The path of the object is curved.

Explanation:

The path of the projectile is usually curved, and NOT straight, due to the influence of gravity on it which is teh only force acting on it-, causing it motion path to fall towards the earth. Most projectiles follow a parabolic path. The projectile, even though it was launched, its motion is then only due to its own inertia – tendency to stay in motion in a straight line, or rest, unless an external force is acting on it - such as drag or friction.  An example of such projectile motion is of ballistic missiles.

If r1 &lt; r2 &lt; r3, and if these resistors are connected in series in a circuit, which one dissipates the most power
Vesnalui [34]
All three have the same current, so that is not a factor. Wattage (power) is E*I or i^2 R. The higher the resistance, the more power dissipated. The answer is R3 because it has the highest resistance.
R3 <<<< ===== answer.

Using evidence from the article, defend the concept that Earth’s magnetic poles have swapped places over time.
Mamont248 [21]

Answer: Scientists found evidence of Earths magnetic field reversal in rocks on the ocean floor at plate boundaries. These rocks have alternating polarity due to magnetization that occurred during their cooling period. Using radio metric dating, scientist estimate that reversals occur approximately every several hundred thousand years.
