I was taken to room 28 and left to try and make an impression on the bed. It was an impossible task. The bed had been made high in the center and sloping on either side. At the first touch my head flooded the pillow with water, and my wet slip transferred some of its dampness to the sheet. When Miss Grupe came in I asked if I could not have a night-gown. Which statement best describes what the author’s use of the word impression connotes? The bed is so hard her body leaves no dent. The beds are looked upon favorably. The beds are poorly made. The beds are adequate.

The answer is: The bed is so hard her body leaves no dent.

Explanation:

Impression used here means leaving a dent. This is the depression that shows when we sit or lie on a couch or bed.

When the author tries to sleep in the above text, due to the way the bed was made (The bed had been made high in the center and sloping on either side) the author couldn't make an impression on the bed.

Therefore, impression in this case means: "The bed is so hard her body leaves no dent."

we can solve this via the kinematic equation:

where the vertical velocity is zero and so:

since the height of the building is 29.3 meters then:

the ball was in motion for approximately 2.45 seconds

can you explain it better
