<span>Acceleration of ball (a) = 9.8 m/s^2
Speed (v) = 24.5 m/s
Time (t) = Acceleration / Time
= v / a
= 24.5/9.8
= 2.5 s
So it will take 2.5 seconds to reach that speed.</span>
Alkali metals : sodium , potassium
alkaline earth : magnesium , calcium
the rest are transition elements... i don't know about "inner transition"
