Answer: 16.3 seconds

Explanation: Given that the

Initial velocity U = 80 ft/s

Let's first calculate the maximum height reached by using third equation of motion.

V^2 = U^2 - 2gH

Where V = final velocity and H = maximum height.

Since the toy is moving against the gravity, g will be negative.

At maximum height, V = 0

0 = 80^2 - 2 × 9.81 × H

6400 = 19.62H

H = 6400/19.62

H = 326.2

Let's us second equation of motion to find time.

H = Ut - 1/2gt^2

Let assume that the ball is dropped from the maximum height. Then,

U = 0. The equation will be reduced to

H = 1/2gt^2

326.2 = 1/2 × 9.81 × t^2

326.2 = 4.905t^2

t^2 = 326.2/4.905

t = sqrt( 66.5 )

t = 8.15 seconds

The time it will take for the rocket to return to ground level will be 2t.

That is, 2 × 8.15 = 16.3 seconds

As what Douglas Adams says, "<span>Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space."

The fact that the stars are very far from Earth, one can't fully understand the stars as it would require hundred of years to closely travel from earth to the stars because it is located million miles away from the Earth. Aside from its location, the stars are also hard to closely study because it emits lights that are harm for people when exposed longer. </span>

2. A pebble is dropped down a well and hits the water 1.5 s later. Using the equations for motion with constant acceleration, de
kow [346]

Answer:

S = 11.025 m

Explanation:

Given,

The time taken by the pebble to hit the water surface is, t = 1.5 s

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

Using the II equations of motion

                          S = ut + 1/2 gt²

Here u is the initial velocity of the pebble. Since it is free-fall, the initial velocity

                                u = 0

Therefore, the equation becomes

                            S = 1/2 gt²

Substituting the given values in the above equation

                              S = 0.5 x 9.8 x 1.5²

                                 = 11.025 m

Hence, the distance from the edge of the well to the water's surface is, S = 11.025 m

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:35.2 ft

Explanation:

Given

height of stick =4 ft

shadow length =2.8 ft

Angle of elevation of sun is

tan\theta =\frac{4}{2.8}

let the height of tree be h

as \thetawill remain same thus

tan\theta =\frac{h}{24.64}

\frac{4}{2.8}=\frac{h}{24.64}

h=35.2 ft
