Answer:

1.03 seconds

Explanation:

x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

0 = 7.63 + (-2.40) t + ½ (-9.8) t²

0 = 7.63 - 2.40 t - 4.9 t²

Solve with quadratic formula:

t = [ -b ± √(b² - 4ac) ] / 2a

t = [ 2.40 ± √(2.40² - 4(-4.9)(7.63)) ] / -9.8

t = -1.52, 1.03

Since t can't be negative here, the sandbag hits the ground after 1.03 seconds.

Serggg [28]

The magnitude of the force is 1.6*10^-16 N. The direction of force is upward.

The definition of force is the push or pull that causes a massed object to change its velocity. Force is an external agent that has the power to alter a body's resting or moving position. It has a direction and a magnitude. The total amount of forces exerted on an object is referred to as the magnitude of force.

The strength of the force increases when all the force is pulling in the same direction. When force is exerted on an item from different angles, the force's strength reduces. The amount that encapsulates the force's strength is known as its magnitude.

tankabanditka [31]
The answer to this question is B, Reacts with sunlight.

The 2 main properties of substances are their physical properties and chemical properties. 
Physical properties are some observable/measurable characteristics, such as their color, mass, state, melting point, conductivity etc.

Meanwhile, for chemical properties, they're about how the substance reacts with other substances, such as metals react with acid to form hydrogen. And by the word "react", it means there's no way turn the reaction product back to the original substance without using chemical methods such as heating or electrolysis. 

Therefore, all the choices above are physical properties of hydrogen peroxide except for B, as it is the only choice that relates to the substance reacting to another substance.
