Answer: 
Dysprosium [Dy]=![[Xe]4f^{10}6s^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BXe%5D4f%5E%7B10%7D6s%5E2)
Americium [Am]=![[Rn]5f^77s^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BRn%5D5f%5E77s%5E2)
Dysprosium is a chemical element with symbol Dy and atomic number of 66. It is a rare earth metal and as it contains partially filled f sub shells, it belongs to f block. Xe is the nearest noble gas and has atomic number of 54.
Americium is a chemical element with symbol Am and atomic number of 95. It is a rare earth metal and as it contains half filled f sub shells, it belongs to f block. Radon is the nearest noble gas and has atomic number of 86.
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
The empirical formula of the compound obtained from the question given is NaBrO₃
<h3>Data obtained from the question </h3>
- Sodium (Na) = 15.24%
- Bromine (Br) = 52.95%
- Oxygen (O) = 31.81%
<h3>How to determine the empirical formula </h3>
The empirical formula of the compound can be obtained as illustrated below:
Divide by their molar mass 
Na = 15.24 / 22.99 = 0.663
Br = 52.95 / 79.90 = 0.663
O = 31.81 / 16 = 1.988
Divide by the smallest 
Na = 0.663 / 0.663 = 1
Br = 0.663 / 0.663 = 1
O = 1.988 / 0.663 = 3
Thus, the empirical formula of the compound is NaBrO₃

Variables we know:
t = 8 seconds
Vi = 0 m/s
g = -9.81
Δy = ?
Vf = ?
Equation we will be using to solve for Vf: Vf = Vi + gt
Steps to solve:
Vf = (0) + (-9.81)(8)
Vf = -78.48 m/s
Hope this helps!! :)
