Which is the best illustration of a figurehead? a ruler whom everyone looks up to for his wisdom a ruler whose associates make all the decisions for him a ruler who is showy and trendsetting a ruler who allows his affiliates to offer advice and guidance

The correct answer is: "a ruler whose associates make all the decisions for him".

This type of ruler holds an official title (for example, president or minister), but actually he is not performing the decision-making, there is a person or a team behind him who does so, therefore he exercises little de facto power.

This scenario was common with medieval kings, who were the legitimate owners of the title but many times other men were actually ruling on their behalf, as they did not have the capacity to do so or they were not interested in governing.

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
