I don't know your statement, but one explanation for this is that Russia is mostly located on land, away from water and Florida is surrounded by water.
Water takes up the heat from the environment, so it has the effect of making the temperatures of objects around it milder: cooling down when hot, warming up when too cold.
It seems that you have missed the necessary options for us to answer this question, but anyway, here is the answer. The type of machine that a wire cutter pliers is classified is a simple machine. When we say simple machine, this is the type of machine that is considered basic wherein you need to apply force for it to function. Hope this helps.
Explanation:
At the maximum height, the ball's velocity is 0.
v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)
(0 m/s)² = (12.3 m/s)² + 2(-9.80 m/s²)(x - 0 m)
x = 7.72 m
The ball reaches a maximum height of 7.72 m.
The times where the ball passes through half that height is:
x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²
(7.72 m / 2) = (0 m) + (12.3 m/s) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²
3.86 = 12.3 t - 4.9 t²
4.9 t² - 12.3 t + 3.86 = 0
Using quadratic formula:
t = [ -b ± √(b² - 4ac) ] / 2a
t = [ 12.3 ± √(12.3² - 4(4.9)(3.86)) ] / 9.8
t = 0.368, 2.14
The ball reaches half the maximum height after 0.368 seconds and after 2.14 seconds.
