TOTAL FLIGHT TIME
Rising Projectile
vi = initial velocity = 58.8 m/s
vf = final velocity = 0
g = gravity acceleration = -9.81 m/s²
t = elapsed time = to be determined
vf = vi + gt
vf - vi = gt
(vf - vi)/g = t
t = (vf - vi)/g
t = (0 - 58.8)/-9.81
t = -58.0/-9.81
t = 5.99 s ≈ 6.00 s
Falling Projectile
vi = initial velocity = 0
vf = final velocity = 58.8 m/s
g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 m/s²
t = elapsed time = to be determined
vf = vi + gt
vf - vi = gt
(vf - vi)/g = t
t = (vf - vi)/g
t = (58.8 - 0)/9.81
t = 58.0/9.81
t = 5.99 s ≈ 6.00 s
t(total) = t(up) + t(down) = 6.00 s + 6.00 s = 12.0 s Total Flight Time
HORIZONTAL DISTANCE TRAVELED
v = velocity, horizontal = 20.0 m/s
d = to be determined
t = elapsed time = 12.0 s
v = d/t
vt = d
d = vt
d = (20.0 m/s)(12.0 s)
d = 240 m Horizontal Distance Traveled

Air, because it is the least dense material listed, meaning that light can travel through it quicker because there are less particles for it to collide with which would cause it to slow down as it loses energy with each collision
Answer:
A. Thickness and temperature
Explanation:
The initial kinetic energy of the boat and its rider is
After Sam stops it, the final kinetic energy of the boat+rider is
because its final velocity is zero.
For the law of conservation of energy, the work done by Sam is the variation of kinetic energy of the system:
where the negative sign is due to the fact that the force Sam is applying goes against the direction of motion of the boat.
