2.6 secs.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial velocity (u) = 12.6 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Next, we shall determine the time taken to reach the maximum height.

NOTE: the maximum height is reached when the final velocity of the arrow in the air is zero.

Thus, we can obtain the time taken to reach the maximum height as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 12.6 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Time (t) =?

v = u – gt (the arrow is going against gravity)

0 = 12.6 – 9.8 × t

0 = 12.6 – 9.8t

Rearrange

9.8t = 12.6

Divide both side by 9.8

t = 12.6/9.8

t = 1.3 secs.

Therefore, the time taken to reach the maximum height (i.e at a point where the final velocity is 0) is 1.3 secs.

Finally, we shall determine the time taken for the arrow to return to the ground as follow:

Time (t) taken to reach the maximum height = 1.3 secs.

Time (T) taken for the arrow to return to the ground =.?

T = 2t

T = 2 × 1.3

T = 2.6 secs.

Therefore, the time taken for the arrow to return to the ground is 2.6 secs.

Neptune is the eighth planet from the sun. it was the first planet to get its existence predicted by mathematical calculations before it was actually seen through a telescope on sept. 23, 1846. irregularities in the orbit of uranus led french astronomer alexis bouvard to suggest that the gravitational pull from another celestial body might be responsible. german astronomer johann galle then relied on subsequent calculations to spot neptune via telescope. previously, astronomer galileo galilei sketched the planet, but he mistook it for a star due to its slow motion. in accordance with all the other planets seen in the sky, this new world was given a name from greek and roman mythology — neptune, the roman god of the sea.

This is important 1. what happens to the speed of molecules in water vapor when it condenses to form a liquid? (2 points) the molecules slow down. the molecules speed up. the molecules slow down and then speed up. the molecules speed up and then slow down. 2. how might human activities change to compensate for a decrease in water supplies? (2 points) humans might build a factory. humans might build drainage systems. humans might extract more water from the ground. human behavior does not change because of the water cycle. i'll be grateful if anyone can answer these 2 questions !

Air is to be preheated by hot exhaust gases in a cross-flow heat exchanger before it enters the furnace. air enters the heat exchanger at 95 kpa and 20°c at a rate of 0.6 m^3/s. the combustion gases (cp = 1.10 kj/kg°c) enter at 160°c at a rate of 0.95 kg/s and leave at 95°c. determine the rate of heat transfer to the air and its outlet temperature.
