it will have the same speed when it returns to the release point as when it was released.
(b) (5 marks) The time of flight will be twice the time it takes to get to its highest point.

The spores are ejected with typical speeds of 1.29 m/s, allowing them to clear the "boundary layer" of still air near the ground to be carried away and dispersed by winds. If a given spore is accelerated from rest to 1.29 m/s in 7.10 µs, what is the magnitude of the constant acceleration of the spore (in m/s?) while (a) being ejected? m/s2 (b) Find the maximum height of the spore (in cm) if it is ejected vertically.

Ignore air resistance and assume that the spore (c) is ejected at ground level. cmarrow_forwardIn a downhill ski race, your final velocity is not affected very much by getting a running start, because the initial kinetic energy is small compared with the gain in gravitational potential energy on even small hills. However, you will finish the race much faster (which is more important!). To demonstrate this, find the final speed and the time taken for a skier who skies 65 m along a slope that is 17°, measured from horizontal, in the following situations (you may neglect friction). A: Find the final speed (in m/s) of the skier starting from rest. B: How long (in s) does it take for the skier to reach the bottom of this hill starting from rest?
