Two stones are launched from the top of a tall building. One stone is thrown in a direction 20.0 ∘ above the horizontal with a speed of 16.0 m/s ; the other is thrown in a direction 20.0 ∘ below the horizontal with the same speed.

Which stone spends more time in the air? (Neglet air resistance)

a. The stone thrown upward spends more time in the air.

b. The stone thrown downward spends more time in the air.

c. Both stones spend the same amount of time in the air.

A. The stone thrown upward spends more time in the air.

Explanation:

The stone thrown above the horizontal has an initial vertical speed, whose direction is opposed to gravity. It means that it decelerate first before accelerating in the direction of gravity. Where the stone thrown below the horizontal has an initial vertical speed in the direction of gravity, so there is no deceleration.

In consequence, the stone thrown upward spends more time in the air. Correct answer is option A.

first thing first of the answer is with technology. second thing second thing is that the big bang theory did not happened u see they say it did but what they dont realize is that like dinasures are still a round they might deny it but they and look at these 12 foot human skelteons they find lets see didnt the bible say something about giants. hope this peace.

answer: the metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in   melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
