Answer:
3.25 seconds
Explanation:
It is given that,
A person throws a baseball from height of 7 feet with an initial vertical velocity of 50 feet per second. The equation for his motion is as follows :
Where
s is the height in feet
For the given condition, the equation becomes:
When it hits the ground, h = 0
i.e.
It is a quadratic equation, we find the value of t,
t = 3.25 seconds and t = -0.134 s
Neglecting negative value
Hence, for 3.25 seconds the baseball is in the air before it hits the ground.

The formula for the angular spread of the nth-maximum from the central bright fringe for a diffraction from two slits is
where
n is the order of the maximum
is the wavelength
is the distance between the slits
In this problem,
n = 5
So we find
And given the distance of the screen from the slits,
The distance of the 5th bright fringe from the central bright fringe will be given by
B) 8.1 cm
The formula to find the nth-minimum (dark fringe) in a diffraction pattern from double slit is a bit differente from the previous one:
To find the angle corresponding to the 8th dark fringe, we substitute n=8:
And the distance of the 8th dark fringe from the central bright fringe will be given by
