<h2>It will take 0.125 seconds to reach the net.</h2>

Explanation:

Initial speed, u = 34 ft/s = 10.36 m/s

Acceleration, a = -9.81 m/s²

Displacement, s = Final height - Initial height = 8 - 4 = 4 ft = 1.22 m

We have equation of motion, s = ut + 0.5 at²

Substituting

              s = ut + 0.5 at²

              1.22 = 10.36 x t + 0.5 x -9.81 x t²

              4.905t² - 10.36 t + 1.22 = 0

              t = 1.99 s     or    t = 0.125 seconds

Minimum time is 0.125 seconds.

It will take 0.125 seconds to reach the net.

What are the three ways of answering a scientific question
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Let's start by understanding what exactly a scientific question is. A scientific question is a question that may lead to a hypothesis and help us in answering (or figuring out) the reason for some observation. A good scientific question has certain characteristics. It should have some answers (real answers), should be testable.

Here's examples of a few:

Why is that a star?

or

What is that star made of?
