The ball's vertical velocity at the time it just passes over the goal is 0 m/s. Its initial vertical velocity is unknown and we denote it by
, where
here is the ball's initial speed. Vertically, the only force acting on the ball is gravity, which attributes a downward acceleration of 9.8 m/s^2. We expect the maximum height achieved by the ball to be 2.4 m, so we can find the initial speed by solving


to be franc i really think the answer is B
Normally, the water pressure inside a pump is higher than the vapor pressure: in this case, at the interface between the liquid and the vapor, molecules from the liquid escapes into vapour form. Instead, when the pressure of the water becomes lower than the vapour pressure, molecules of vapour can go inside the water forming bubbles: this phenomenon is called
cavitation.
So, cavitation occurs when the pressure of the water becomes lower than the vapour pressure. In our problem, vapour pressure at

is 1.706 kPa. Therefore, the lowest pressure that can exist in the pump without cavitation, at this temperature, is exactly this value: 1.706 kPa.
I believe it is “runs on parallel circuits”! my bad if incorrect
