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.

As a projectile falls, what happens to the components of velocity?
netineya [11]

Answer:

Option (c).

Explanation:

An object when when projected at an angle, will have some horizontal velocity and vertical velocity such that,

v_x=v\cos\theta\ \text{and}\ v_y=v\sin\theta

\theta is the angle of projection

The horizontal component of the projectile remains the same because there is no horizontal motion. Vertical component changes at every point.

As a projectile falls, vertical velocity increases in magnitude, horizontal velocity stays the same .

Jasper made a list of the properties of electromagnetic waves. Identify the mistake in the list. Electromagnetic Wave Properties
Nata [24]

Answer:

Statement 2 is wrong

Explanation:

To check the statements in this exercise, let's describe the main properties of electromagnetic waves. Let's describe the characteristics

* they are transverse waves

* formed by the oscillations of the electric and magnetic fields

* the speed of the wave is the speed of light

with these concepts let's review the final statements

1) True. Formed by the oscillation of the two fields

2) False. They are transverse waves

3) True. Can travel by vacuum as they are supported by oscillations of the electric and magnetic fields

4) True. They all have the same speed of light

Statement 2 is wrong

A spherical balloon with radius r inches has volume V(r) = 4 3 πr3. Find an expression that represents the amount of air require
DerKrebs [107]
So the question ask to formulate an expression to represent the amount of air required to inflate the balloon from a radius of R+4 and the expression would be V=16pi/3*(3r^2+12r+16). I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more if you have question and further clarifications
