Metamorphic rocks form when pre-existing or parent rocks (whether igneous, sedimentary, or even metamorphic) are altered by heat, pressure, and the chemical activity of fluids. When the dominant altering factor is heat, usually  from direct contact , it may undergo fundamental change  in texture and recrystallization is called contact metamorphism. While regional metamorphism,  where rocks texture and minerals are changed by heat and pressure.

Answer: (a) t = 5.44 sec

(b) vf = 53.31 m/s

(c) s = 5.0m

Explanation: from the question, given data

the Height of the tower, h = 145m

from question

(a)

the initial velocity, v₁ = 0 m/s

s = v₁t + 1/2 gt²

-145 m = 0(t) + 1/2 (-9.8t²)

  t² = 145/4.9

   t² = 29.59

    t = 5.44 sec

(b)

the speed of the sphere at the bottom of the tower is

vf² = vi² +2as

vf² = 0 + 2(-9.8 × -145)

vf² = 2842

vf = 53.31 m/s

(c)

when caught, the sphere experiences a deceleration of;

   a = -29.0g

the time it would take to decelerate becomes;

vf = vi + at

0 = (53.31) + (-29 ×9.8)t

where t = 53.31 / 284.2

t = 0.1876 sec

∴ the distance travelled during the deceleration becomes;

vf² = vi² + 2as

s = (vf² - vi²) / 2a

s = (0 - 53.31²) / 2×-29×9.8

s = -2841.9561 / -568.4

s = 4.99 ≈ 5.0m

i hope this helps, cheers

aivan3 [116]
<span>A van is traveling on a road at a speed of 55 km/h relative to a
stationary observer on the side of the road. A girl sitting near the
driver of the van throws a paper airplane to a boy at the back of the
van with a speed of 2 km/h relative to the girl, the boy, and the van.

The speed of the paper airplane, relative to the same stationary observer
on the side of the road, is (55 - 2) = 53 km/h.  No rounding is necessary.</span>
