Creating new elements in order to study their properties is definitely pure research.
It has no earthly [known] application, since the elements don't even exist, whereas
for each of the other choices, you've stated the desired application as the reason
for the search.
Answer:
The initial velocity of the ball is 28.714 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
time of flight of the ball, t = 2.93 s
acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²
initial velocity of the ball, u = ?
The initial velocity of the ball is given by;
v = u + (-g)t
where;
v is the final speed of the ball at the given time, = 0
g is negative because of upward motion
0 = u -gt
u = gt
u = (9.8 x 2.93)
u = 28.714 m/s
Therefore, the initial velocity of the ball is 28.714 m/s
I am 95 percent sure the answer in C
