Answer: It takes 2.85 seconds.
Explanation: according to the question, the kinematics equation for vertical motion is

y₀ is the initial postion and equals 0 because it is fired at ground level;
v₀ is the initial speed and eqauls 14m/s;
g is gravity and it is 9.8m/s²;
y(t) is the final position and equals 0 because it is when the pumpkin hits the ground;
Rewriting the equation, we have:
0 + 14t -
= 0
14t - 4.9t² = 0
t(14 - 4.9t) = 0
For this equation to be zero,
t = 0 or
14 - 4.9t = 0
- 4.9t = - 14
t = 
t = 2.86
It takes 2.86 seconds for the pumpkin to hit the ground.
At the hightest point it would be potential energy, because the energy is stored and then when it is rocking back and forth it has kinetic energy
The International Astronomical Union (IAU) downgraded the status of Pluto to that of a dwarf planet because it did not meet the three criteria the IAU uses to define a full-sized planet. Essentially Pluto meets all the criteria except one—it “has not cleared its neighboring region of other objects.
A larger diameter wire has lower resistance. A lower resistance wire produces less heat for a given current flowing through it.
