Let y_0 be the height of the building and thus the initial height of the ball. The ball's altitude at time t is given by

y=y_0+\left(15\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin35^\circ\,t-\dfrac g2t^2

where g=9.80\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2} is the acceleration due to gravity.

The ball reaches the ground when y=0 after t=2.9\,\mathrm s. Solve for y_0:

0=y_0+\left(15\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin35^\circ(2.9\,\mathrm s)-\dfrac12\left(9.80\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(2.9\,\mathrm s)^2

\implies y_0\approx16.258\,\mathrm m

so the building is about 16 m tall (keeping track of significant digits).

Zoe finds that the temperature of a substance is 12 degrees Celsius. What does this tell Zoe about the substance?
maks197457 [2]
Given the temperature, we can tell if the substance is cold or not relative to the reference temperature. For example, compared to the substance having a temperature of 15 degrees C, the substance is colder and it is hotter from the substance of temperature lesser than 12 degrees C.

How many carbon-14 atoms are left after 1 half-life
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

The time it takes for 14C to radioactively decay is described by its half-life. C has a half-life of 5,730 years. In other words, after 5,730 years, only half of the original amount of 14C remains in a sample of organic material. After an additional 5,730 years–or 11,460 years total–only a quarter of the 14C remains.

Explanation:

Hope this helps
