What happens to the pen?what could have caused the pen's motion?

grade 8 asap

One is tension force that acts on the string and the other one is gravitational force that is acting on the pen and is therefore, the one that pulls the pen towards the ground. Therefore, the pen's motion is caused by the unbalanced force acting on the pen.

h let me think about that

a: 45.9 meters

b: 4.29 seconds

step-by-step explanation:

a: h(t)=1/2(-9.8)(3)^2+0(3)+90

h(t)=-4.9(3)^2+90

h(t)=-44.1+90

h(t)=45.9 meters

b: 0=1/2(-9.8)(t^2)+0t+90

0=-4.9t^2+90

-90=-4.9t^2

18.37=t^2

t=4.29 seconds

in the second question, the numbers aren't exact, but they're a close approximation.
