A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a 24.7 m building with a speed of 13.2m/s. Assuming level ground, the ball lands ___ m from the base of the building.

The horizontal distance traveled by the ball is 29.7 m.

Explanation:

Given;

height of the building, h = 24.7 m

initial horizontal velocity, Vₓ = 13.2 m/s

The time taken for the ball to fall from the vertical height is calculated as;

where;

is initial vertical velocity = 0

The horizontal distance traveled by the ball is calculated as;

Therefore, the horizontal distance traveled by the ball is 29.7 m.

pretty sure it's false

speed of light in vacuum is 300,000 km/s

speed of light in other mediums is given by the expression v = c/n, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and n is the refractive index of medium.

for the first medium v = 200,000 km/s

  so, refractive index of medium = 300000/200000 = 1.5

    1.5 refractive index is usually for glass. so first medium is glass.

for the second medium v = 250,00 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/250000 = 1.2

    1.2 refractive index is usually for water. so second medium is water.

for the third medium v = 0 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/0 = ∞

    ∞ refractive index is usually for opaque mediums. so third medium is opaque medium.
