<span>Because of our perception of the universe from inside the universe, we are unable to see how and towards what the universe is expanding. Also, our understanding of it is further complicated because we are moving as part of the expansion, thus distorting our perception of it.</span>
To find the surface area of a single cube we first nees to take the cube root of 8cm3 which is 2.
Now we know that the length of each side is 2 and we can find the area of one side by doing 2x2 which is 4.
To find the total surface area of one cube we do 4 times 6 side giving us a total of 24cm2.
To find the total surface area of the 8 individual cubes, we multiply 24cm2 by 8 to give us a total of 192cm2.
Now to find the total surface area of the one large cube, we know that each side of one of the small cubes is 4cm2 and the large cube is set up so that there are two levels of four cubes right on top of each other. So, the total area of each side of the large cube is 4cm2 times 4 which gives us 16cm2.
Then we multiply 16cm2 by 6 sides to give us a total surface area of 96cm2.
The ratio of the surface area of the single large cube comapred to the total surface area of the single cubes is 96:192
We can further simplify this ratio:
96:192
48:96
24:48
12:24
6:12
3:6
1:2
Answer:
1) The greatest height attained by the ball equals 20.387 meters.
2) The time it takes for the ball to reach 15 meters approximately equals 1 second.
Explanation:
The greatest height will be attained when the ball stop's in the air and starts falling back to the earth.
thus using third equation of kinematics we obtain the height attained as
where
'v' is the final speed of the ball
'u' is the initial speed of the ball
'a' is the acceleration that the ball is under which in this case equals 9.81 
's' is the distance it covers
Thus for maximum height applying the values in the equation we get
Using the same equation we can find the speed of the ball when it reaches 15 meters of height as
the time it takes to reduce the velocity to this value can be found by first equation of kinematics as
