The horizontal speed has no effect on the answer. 

It doesn't matter whether you flick a marble horizontally from the roof,
fire a high-power rifle horizontally from the roof, drive a school bus straight
off the roof, or drop a bowling ball from the roof with zero horizontal speed. 
Their vertical speed is completely determined by gravity, (and it happens to
be the same for all of them).

Handy dandy formula for the distance covered by anything that starts out
with zero speed and accelerates to the end:

            Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) x (time)²

If the beginning of the journey is on Earth, then the acceleration is
9.8 m/s² ... the acceleration of gravity on Earth.  We'll assume that
the 55-meter rooftop in the question is part of a building on Earth.

                       55 meters  =  (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) x (time)²           

Divide each side
by  4.9 m/s² :            55 m / 4.9 m/s²  =  (time)²

                                 (time)²  =  (55/4.9)  sec²

Square-root
each side:                time  =  √(55/4.9 sec²)

                                           =      3.35 sec  .

answer questions1) The south pole of the steel magnet will be brought closer to the iron nail head. Which pole will be at the po
Anvisha [2.4K]
Answer:

North pole

Explanation:

According to the law of magnetism:

<em>Unlike poles attract while like poles repel</em>

Since the south pole of the steel is brought near the nail, and the nail is meant to attract the steel magnet, the nail domain realigns itself to produce a pole opposite to the pole of the steel magnet brought near it.

Since the North pole is the opposite of the south pole, the North pole will be at the pointed end of the nail so that it can attract the steel magnet.
