A soccer ball is kicked straight upwards with an initial vertical speed of 8.0\,\dfrac{\text m}{\text s}8.0 s m 8, point, 0, start fraction, start text, m, end text, divided by, start text, s, end text, end fraction. We can ignore air resistance. How long does it take the ball to have a downwards speed of 4.0\,\dfrac{\text m}{\text s}4.0 s m 4, point, 0, start fraction, start text, m, end text, divided by, start text, s, end text, end fraction?

answer: a) y=-8x+5

a) m= -8

b) m= -2

c) m= 7

d) m= 6

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
