The equation to be used here is the trajectory of a projectile as written below:
y = xtanθ +/- gx²/2v²(cosθ)²
where
y is the vertical distance
x is the horizontal distance
θ is the angle of trajectory or launch angle
g is 9.81 m/s²
v is the initial velcity
Since the angle is below horizontal, let's use the minus equation. Substituting the values:
- 0.8 m = xtan15° - (9.81 m/s²)x²/2(4.8 m/s)²(cos15°)²
Solving for x,
x = 2.549 m
However, we only take half of this distance because it was specified that the distance asked before bouncing. Hence, the horizontal distance is equal to 1.27 m.
Answer:
over harvesting, pollution, introduction of invasive species such as new predators and food competitors
Explanation:
The main cause of mass extinction is Humans cause extinction of a species through overharvesting. The second main cause is pollution ., introduction of invasive species such as new predators and food competitors, habitat destruction, overhunting and other influences. Another very important cause of mass extinction is the unsustainable human population growth.
The five mass extinction events are
Ordovician Mass Extinction
Devonian Mass Extinction
Permian Mass Extinction
Triassic -Jurassic Mass Extinction
and Cretaceous -Tertiary (or the K-T) Mass Extinction.
100/5= 20, 20 seconds is the time needed.
