s = 1/2*g*t2 where g is the acceleration due to gravity which, on the surface of the earth is approximately 9.8 metres/second2

So t = 4 gives s = 1/2*9.8*42 = 78.4 metres.

What is the difference between monopole antenna and dipole antenna?

Monopole is an antenna with just the radiating element where the ground of the transmitter is connected to an electrical ground which serves as an Image ground to the radiating element. Thus the name "mono" pole. Dipole is where the ground and the radiating elements are connected to two different elements where one is the radiating element and the other is the ground to the later. Thus the name "Di" Pole Cheers by zafran khan

What is the velocity of a ball that has a 3.03 second hit to the ground?

If it was thrown horizontally or dropped, and hit the ground 3.03 seconds later, then it hit the ground moving at a speed of 29.694 meters (97.42-ft) per second. If it was tossed at any angle not horizontal, and hit the ground 3.03 seconds later, we need to know the direction it was launched, in order to calculate the speed with which it hit the ground.

What must be the initial velocity of super boy to catch a package dropped from the top of a 56.0m high building 56.0m and 2 seconds later super boy dives off the building to catch the package?

Diving is generally taken to mean that you start from rest and jump. If Superboy dives off the building, he would initially have had zero velocity, relative to the building.


A ball dropped from a window strikes the ground 2.00 seconds later how high is the window above the ground?

As , s = ut + 1/2 a t2 , since a ball is dropped , the equation is modified as h = ut + 1/2 g t2 Therefore , h = 0 x t + 1/2 x 9.8 x 22 [ u = 0 ,since the ball is at rest] h = 19.6 meters Height of the window = 19.6 meters
