0.373 seconds. First, calculate the initial vertical velocity of the shell. 800sin(30) = 800*0.5 = 400 m/s Now the formula for the distance traveled is d = 400 m/s * T + 0.5A T^2 Substituting known values gives. 150 = 400 m/s * T + 0.5*9.80m/s^2 T^2 150 = 400 m/s * T + 4.9 m/s^2 T^2 Arrange as a quadratic formula 0 = 400 m/s * T + 4.9 m/s^2 T^2 - 150 4.9 m/s^2 T^2 + 400 m/s * T - 150 = 0 Now solve for T using the quadratic formula with a=4.9, b=400, and c=-150 The calculated value is 0.373 seconds. Is this value reasonable? Let's check. The initial downward velocity is 400 m/s. So 150/400 = 0.375 seconds. Since the actual time will be a bit less due to acceleration by gravity and since the total time is so short, there won't be much acceleration due to gravity, the value of 0.373 is quite reasonable.

The shell will take about 0.34 seconds to reach the ground.

Step 1

T is given as 800 m/s. The factors that would impact time are gravity and angle.

The factor of gravity (g) is a constant given as = 9.81. Any object on earth will accelerate at the speed of 9.81 meters per second if they are in a free fall.

Hence, T = 800Sin(30°) / g = 800 * 0.5

This is equals 400/9.81 = 40.773 or 40.78 seconds.

Step 2

Given that the vertical velocity of the shell is zero because it is accelerating at an angle towards the earth, it will rise at an average speed that can be computed as:

1/2 (800sin30°) = 1/2 * 400 = 200m/s for Tsec and arise of H which is 8,156m.

Step 3

The shell having risen falls from rest at the height given above.

S therefore, = 150 +H, that is 150 + 8,156m. This is equals to 8,306m.

Step 4

Next, we compute for the Kinematics equation of distance in relation to time (t) where the initial speed is 0.

S = 1/2(gt)²

thus 8,306 = 0.5 * 9.81*t² with elementary cross multiplication and the and the squaring of both sides, we have

t = $\sqrt{1693}$

t= 41.14608 which is approximately 41.12 seconds.

Because the time taken for the shell to rise and then to fall to the ground is the sum of T and t. the time taken to fall or the time taken for the shell to travel towards to the ground is:

t - T = 41.12 - 40.78

= 0.34 seconds

Your answer is c. explanation: plasma is the fourth state of matter, derived from the gaseous state of matter. plasma can contain free electrons and/or ions. while plasma is never neutral, it can either be positively or negatively charged. gases, however, are electrically neutral.
