Answer:
2.82 s
Explanation:
The ball will be subject to the acceleration of gravity which can be considered constant. Therefore we can use the equation for uniformly accelerated movement:
Y(t) = Y0 + Vy0 * t + 1/2 * a * t^2
Y0 is the starting position, 2.3 m in this case.
Vy0 is the starting speed, 13 m/s.
a will be the acceleration of gravity, -9.81 m/s^2, negative because it points down.
Y(t) = 2.3 + 13 * t - 1/2 * 9.81 * t^2
It will reach the ground when Y(t) = 0
0 = 2.3 + 13 * t - 1/2 * 9.81 * t^2
-4.9 * t^2 + 13 * t + 2.3 = 0
Solving this equation electronically gives two results:
t1 = 2.82 s
t2 = -0.17 s
We disregard the negative solution. The ball spends 2.82 seconds in the air.
An important aspect of fission reactions is that they produce free neutrons, which causes chain reactions.
Na is in the first column on the periodic table so therefore it would have 1 valence electron
