Borrowing from the tradition of the ancient Greeks, the first ones
who tried to describe the brightness of stars with numbers ...
6 magnitudes = a ratio of 100 .
In more modern notation . . .
1 magnitude = ratio of (100) ^ (1/6)
= about 2.154...
9.6 magnitudes = (100) ^ (9.6/6)
= 100¹·⁶
= 1,584.89 (rounded)
The answer is number 1 solar panels
We have the following equation for height:
h (t) = (1/2) * (a) * t ^ 2 + vo * t + h0
Where,
a: acceleration
vo: initial speed
h0: initial height.
The value of the acceleration is:
a = -g = -9.8 m / s ^ 2
For t = 0 we have:
h (0) = (1/2) * (a) * 0 ^ 2 + vo * 0 + h0
h (0) = h0
h0 = 0 (reference system equal to zero when the ball is hit).
For t = 5.8 we have:
h (5.8) = (1/2) * (- 9.8) * (5.8) ^ 2 + vo * (5.8) + 0
(1/2) * (- 9.8) * (5.8) ^ 2 + vo * (5.8) + 0 = 0
vo = (1/2) * (9.8) * (5.8)
vo = 28.42
Substituting values we have:
h (t) = (1/2) * (a) * t ^ 2 + vo * t + h0
h (t) = (1/2) * (- 9.8) * t ^ 2 + 28.42 * t + 0
Rewriting:
h (t) = -4.9 * t ^ 2 + 28.42 * t
The maximum height occurs when:
h '(t) = -9.8 * t + 28.42
-9.8 * t + 28.42 = 0
t = 28.42 / 9.8
t = 2.9 seconds.
Answer:
The ball was at maximum elevation when:
t = 2.9 seconds.
To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts of Work. Work is understood as the force applied to travel a determined distance, in this case the height. The force in turn can be expressed by Newton's second law as the ratio between mass and gravity, as well

Where,
m = mass
h = height
g = Gravitational constant
When it ascends to the second floor it has traveled the energy necessary to climb a height, under this logic, until the 4 floor has traveled 3 times the height h of each of the floors therefore

Replacing in our equation we have to

The correct answer is 4.
