<h2>Answer:</h2>

9.86s

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The total time (t_{T}) the ball is in flight is the sum of the time taken (t_{H}) to reach maximum height and the time taken (t_{G}) to strike the ground from maximum height. i.e

t_{T} = t_{H} + t_{G}

<em>Calculate time taken to reach maximum height, </em>t_{H}.

Using one of the equations of motion;

v = u + at   ------------------------(i)

Where;

v = final velocity of the ball = 0 (at maximum height, velocity is zero (0));

u = initial velocity of the ball = 42.4m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity = g = -10m/s² ( this is negative since the ball is thrown upwards against the direction of gravity)

t = time taken to reach maximum height = t_{H}

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

0 = 42.4 - 10(t_{H})

t_{H} = 42.4 / 10

t_{H} = 4.24s

<em>The time taken (</em>t_{H}<em>)to reach maximum height = 4.24s</em>

<em />

<em>Calculate the time taken to strike the ground from maximum height, </em>t_{G}<em />

(i) First let's get the maximum height reached relative to the roof of the building using another equation of motion;

h = ut + \frac{1}{2} x at^{2}      --------------------------(ii)

Where;

h = maximum height;

u = initial velocity of the ball = 42.4m/s

a = -10m/s² ( this is negative since the ball is thrown upwards against the direction of gravity)

t = time taken to reach maximum height = 4.24s

Substitute these values into equation (ii) as follows;

=> h = (42.4 x 4.24) - \frac{1}{2} x 10 x 4.24²

=> h = 179.776 - 89.888

=> h = 89.888m

(ii) Second, let's find the time taken to strike the ground from maximum height using the same equation (ii);

Where;

h = total height relative to the ground = maximum height + building height

h = 89.888 + 68.1 = 157.988m

u = initial velocity from maximum height = 0 (at maximum height, velocity is 0)

a = acceleration due to gravity = +10m/s² (this is positive since the ball now moves downwards in the direction of gravity)

t = time taken from maximum height to strike the ground = t_{G}

Substitute these values into equation(ii);

157.988 = 0(t_{G}) + \frac{1}{2} x 10 x t_{G}²

157.988 = 5t_{G}²

Solve for t_{G};

t_{G}² = 157.988 / 5

t_{G}² = 31.60

t_{G} = \sqrt{31.60}

t_{G} = 5.62s

Therefore, time taken to strike the ground from maximum height is 5.62s

<em>Calculate the total time in air, </em>t_{T}<em></em>

t_{T} = t_{H} + t_{G}

t_{T} = 4.24 + 5.62

t_{T} = 9.86s

The total time the ball is in flight is 9.86s

Answer:

7.45 s.

Explanation:

Given:

h = 68.1 m

vi = 0 m/s

vf = 42.4 m/s

g = 9.81 m/s^2

Using,

h = vi*t +1/2*(a*t^2)

68.1 = 1/2 * (9.81*t^2)

t = sqrt((68.1*2)/9.81)

= 3.726 s.

Total time of flight = 2*t

= 2 * 3.726

= 7.45 s.

Which best explains how the diffraction pattern observed in young’s experiment supports the wave theory of light?.
KIM [24]

Answer: the airy pattern can only arise from wave propagation

Explanation:if particles went in straight lines through a slit, they would progate linearly and not interfere. The airy pattern arises from diffraction as waves interfere, producing peaks (constructive interference where peaks of waves from each slit coincide) and troughs (destructive interference where peaks and troughs of waves from each slit cancel out). If intensity rather than field is measured nodes occur where 0 values line up instead of troughs

KengaRu [80]

Explanation:

Pressure is the same for both plungers.

P = P

F / A = F / A

F / (¼ π d²) = F / (¼ π d²)

F / d² = F / d²

5 N / (0.05 m)² = F / (1 m)²

F = 2000 N

None of the options are correct.
