Suppose an astronaut can jump vertically with an initial velocity of 5 m/s.

The time that it takes him to touch the ground is given by the equation 0 = 5t - 0.5at2.

The time t is in seconds and the acceleration due to gravity a is in m/s2.

How long will it take him to reach the ground if he jumps on Earth where a = 9.8 m/s2?

Which of these would have been most likely to have been a carpetbagger during the reconstruction era? a) a new york businessman who relocated to mississippi b) a former slave who was able to buy land in birmingham c) a carolina-born politician who supported the democratic d) a former confederate officer who owned a farm in memphis eliminate
