a. t=0.553 s
b. vox(horizontal speed) = 3.62 m/s
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
h = 1.5 m
x = 2 m
Required
a. time
b. vo=initial speed
Solution
Free fall motion
a. h = 1/2 gt²(vertical motion=h=voyt+1/2gt²⇒voy = 0)

t = √2h/g
t = √2.1.5/9.8
t=0.553 s
b. x=vox.t(horizontal motion)

vox=x/t
vox=2/0.553
vox=3.62 m/s
the time required for the activity of a substance taken into the body to lose one half its initial effectiveness. Informal. a brief period during which something flourishes before dying out.
hope this helps ^^
Answer : The type of reaction described in the sentence is Synthesis or Combination
Explanation :
The balanced equation for the reaction between Phosphorous and Oxygen gas can be written as

From the above equation we can see that there are two different reactants ( P and O₂ ) which are combining with each other to give a single product.
This type of reaction is known as Combination or Synthesis.
A general form of Synthesis reaction is given below.

Here we can conclude that a synthesis / combination reaction is the one where 2 or more reactants combine together to give only one product .
