3010.176 years. 7.236 x 104 = 752.144. 1/2 = 4/8. 4 x 752.144 =
3010.176

Answer:

h = 1.8 m

Explanation:

The initial velocity of the glove, u =- 6 m/s

We need to find the maximum height of the glove. Let it is equal to h. Using equation of kinematics. At the maximum height v = 0

$v^2-u^2=2ah$ , h is the maximum height and a = -g

$0^2-(6)^2=2\times (-10)\times h\\\\h=\dfrac{36}{20}\\\\h=1.8\ m$

Hence, it will go up to a height of 1.8 m.

The typical unit for a period used with Kepler's third law is

ollegr [7]

Well, if you're using the law to work with periods of Earth satellites,
then the most convenient unit is going to be 'hours' for the largest
orbits, or 'minutes' for the LEOs.

But if you're using it to work with periods of planets, asteroids, or
comets, then you'd be working in days or years.
