Friction is resisting gravity and eventually it stops

The sphere slow down due to friction force between the surface of the sphere and the surface on that the sphere is rolling . The friction force acting against the motion of the sphere. Thats why it is slowed down. In fact not only a sphere, anything can not slow down untill a force act against it's motion.

Voltage has been described as similar to the water in the water pipes in your home. What other analogy can you think of that is

Kisachek [45]

When describing voltage, current, and resistance, a common analogy is a water tank. In this analogy, charge is represented by the water amount, voltage is represented by the water pressure, and current is represented by the water flow.

Help me solve this please

Since it's a projectile being launched the only force acting upon it is gravity, since the object is in free fall once it's launched

so to calculate time you'd utilize the general formula of
$xf = xi + vxi(t) + \frac{1}{2} (a) {t}^{2}$
and then solve using time and make it into the y axis, so change the x's to y's, which will change a to g.
since Vyi is always usually 0, you can drop that out of this equation so the formula to find time would be
$t = \sqrt{ \frac{2(y)}{g} }$
So you'll plug in and it'll be
$t = \sqrt{ \frac{2( - 49m)}{ - 9.81 \frac{m}{s {}^{2} } } }$
to find the maximum height you'll have to do some trigonometry to solve it.
To make it easier draw a triangle
put the 60° mark as shown in the picture.
Then you'll need to find the hypotenuse or horizontal to find the vertical
So the hypotenuse would be the 113m/s
so then you'll use
$\ \sin( 60) = ( \frac{o}{h})$

plug in the numbers
$113( \ \sin (60) ) = o$
now that you have the vertical

use the formula
${vf}^{2} = {vi}^{2} + 2gd$
solve for d which will give you the hypotenuse
$d = { (-vertical \frac{m}{s} )}^{2} \div 2( - 9.81 \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} } )$
The "vertical" is what you found in the previous step.
Vf^2 is equal to 0 so you can just drop that number out since it's 0
then once you have that then youre not done yet
since you're on a cliff of 49 m you'll have to add 49m to the previous answer that you found d to find the maximum height.

I hope this helps!
