hii, just wondering how to solve this? it’s simple scientific notation but my brain just isn’t functioning today so it’s be helpful! a brief explanation is fine<3 thanks a lot!

When you drop a pebble from height a it reaches the ground with speed v if there is no air resistance. from what height should you drop it so it will reach the ground with three times the speed? (a) 9m (b) 3m (c) 6m (d) 18m

Classify the following soils according to the uscs classification system. provide appropriate uscs designations. a) this sample of well-graded gravel with sand was obtained from a large earthen dam in vancouver, canada. the sample has 73% fine to coarse sub-angular gravel, 25% fine to coarse sub-angular sand and 2% fines. the maximum size of the particles is 75 mm. the coefficient of curvature is 2.7, while the uniformity coefficient is 12.4. b) this dark brown and wet soil with a “strong organic odor” has 100% passing the no. 200 sieve. the liquid limit of the material is 32% when not dried and is 21% when oven-dried. the plastic index is 21% when not dried. c) this sand has 61% predominantly fine sand, 23% silty fines, and 16% fine sub-rounded gravel size. the maximum size is 20 mm. the liquid limit is 33% and the plastic limit is 27%. d) this soil has 74% fine to coarse sub-angular reddish sand and 26% organic and silty dark brown fines. the liquid limit is 37% when not dried and is 26% when oven dried. the plastic index is 6% when not dried.

Modern physics a photon emitted from an excited hydrogen atom has an energy of 3.02 electron volts. which electron energy-level transition would produce this photon? a. n=1 to n=6 b. n=2 to n=6 c. n=6 to n=1 d. n=6 to n=2 i chose b but the correct answer is d can someone tell me why? and what's the difference?
