Let's cut through the weeds and the trash
and get down to the real situation:
A stone is tossed straight up at 5.89 m/s .
Ignore air resistance.
Gravity slows down the speed of any rising object by 9.8 m/s every second.
So the stone (aka Billy-Bob-Joe) continues to rise for
(5.89 m/s / 9.8 m/s²) = 0.6 seconds.
At that timer, he has run out of upward gas. He is at the top
of his rise, he stops rising, and begins to fall.
His average speed on the way up is (1/2) (5.89 + 0) = 2.945 m/s .
Moving for 0.6 seconds at an average speed of 2.945 m/s,
he topped out at
(2.945 m/s) (0.6 s) = 1.767 meters above the trampoline.
With no other forces other than gravity acting on him, it takes him
the same time to come down from the peak as it took to rise to it.
(0.6 sec up) + (0.6 sec down) = 1.2 seconds until he hits rubber again.
Answer:
Person B has four times the power output of person A.
Galaxies are sprawling systems of dust, gas, dark matter, and anywhere from a million to a trillion stars that are held together by gravity. Nearly all large galaxies are thought to also contain supermassive black holes at their centers.
