In order to calculate the time taken by the snowball to reach the highest point in its journey, we need to consider the variables along the y-direction.

Let us list out what we know from the question so that we can decide on the equation to be used.

We know that Initial Y VelocityV_{iy} = 8.4 m/s

Acceleration in the Y direction a_{y} = -9.8 m/s^{2}, since the acceleration due to gravity points in the downward direction.

Final Y Velocity V_{fy} = 0 because at the highest point in its path, an object comes to rest momentarily before falling down.

Time taken t = ?

From the list above, it is easy to see that the equation that best suits our purpose here is V_{fy} = V_{iy} + a_{y}t

Plugging in the numbers, we get 0 = 8.4 - (9.8)t

Solving for t, we get t = 0.857 s

Therefore, the snowball takes 0.86 seconds to reach its highest point.

What is the distance an object would be from Earth if its parallax were one arcsecond?
ZanzabumX [31]
The correct answer is (a.) a parsec. A parsec is a distance an object would be from Earth if its parallax were one arcsecond. This unit of measurement is usually used in astronomy which makes it easier for astronomers to calculate or measure in space accurately.

A bicycle is ridden along a horizontal road with a driving force of 400, n,400n. its speed is constant at 12, m, slash, s,12m/s.
mr_godi [17]

The magnitude of the sum of the frictional forces acting on the bike and its rider is 400N.

<h3>What is friction force?</h3>

The friction force is the opposing force which acts on the object which is in relative motion.

The driving force is equal and opposite to the friction force acting between road and bicycle.

Friction force = 400N

The friction force between rider and bike is zero.

So the magnitude of sum of friction force = 400N +0 = 400N

Thus, the magnitude of the sum of the frictional forces acting on the bike and its rider.
