Why did the crown pass the so-called intolerable acts? a. to raise revenue for the king b. to increase trade with the colonies. c. to provoke a revolution in the colonies. d. to punish the colonists for their disobedience

The correct answer is D. The Crown passed the Intolerable Acts to punish the colonists for their disobedience.

The Intolerable Acts was the name given to the laws issued in 1774 by the British Parliament due to continued discontent in the Thirteen American Colonies, particularly in Boston after turbulent incidents such as the Tea Party in Boston. The British also called them Coercive Acts or Punitive Acts. These acts accelerated the processes that culminated in the War of Independence of the United States and the formation of the Continental Congress.

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
