The answer is D) The outcome of the experiment will be non observable
For vertical motion, use the following kinematics equation:
H(t) = X + Vt + 0.5At²
H(t) is the height of the ball at any point in time t for t ≥ 0s
X is the initial height
V is the initial vertical velocity
A is the constant vertical acceleration
Given values:
X = 1.4m
V = 0m/s (starting from free fall)
A = -9.81m/s² (downward acceleration due to gravity near the earth's surface)
Plug in these values to get H(t):
H(t) = 1.4 + 0t - 4.905t²
H(t) = 1.4 - 4.905t²
We want to calculate when the ball hits the ground, i.e. find a time t when H(t) = 0m, so let us substitute H(t) = 0 into the equation and solve for t:
1.4 - 4.905t² = 0
4.905t² = 1.4
t² = 0.2854
t = ±0.5342s
Reject t = -0.5342s because this doesn't make sense within the context of the problem (we only let t ≥ 0s for the ball's motion H(t))
t = 0.53s
Reflecting telescope. Reflecting telescopes tend to have larger objective (due to the use of mirrors, mirrors are a lot cheaper than lenses) and have the ability to collect more light, while refracting telescopes are limited to objective lenses with smaller diameters due to their structural limitations (chromatic abbreviation, for example). Therefore, reflecting telescopes should be better at viewing faint distant stars
The fourth dimension is technically time. the fourth dimension that you are talking about is actually impossible to comprehend.
