It is launched vertically with an initial speed of 110 ft/sec.

It will reach maximum height when the speed drops to 0.

Vo=110 feet per second 

ho=2 feet 

So, h(t) = -16t^2 +110t +2 

Take the derivative: h'(t) = 110 -32t 

The maximum height will be at the inflection when the derivative crosses the x-axis, then h'(t)=0. 

So, set h'(t)=0 and solve for t: 

0 = 110 -32t 

-110 = -32t 

t=3.4375 

t=3.44 seconds.

The stability of the ions is determined by the energy of the lone pairs. Carbon has the least effective nuclear charge (Zeff) and so the lone pair on the CH3− ion has the highest energy, making it the least stable ion and so the strongest base. The Zeff increases as we move across the period until we get to fluorine which has the greatest Zeff and so its lone pairs have the lowest energy, making F− the least basic ion.

In order of decreasing basicity they are ranked LiCH3 > LiNH2 > LiOH > LiF. We are dealing with the ions F−, OH−, NH2− and CH3− and so the factor which influences their basicity is the stability of the ion compared to its conjugate acid.

Tropical grasslands, or savannas, are also the homes of primates in Africa and Asia; no savanna-living primates exist in South America. Tropical grasslands comprise a mixture of trees and grasses, the proportion of trees to grass varying directly with the rainfall.

The process of conversion of milk into curd is called fermentation.  It is a chemical change. Milk consists of globular proteins called casein. As the microorganism lactobacillus react with milk and turn it to curd. For it 37 degree temperature is needed. But sometimes when it does not get favourable condition, then other microorganism react and makes the curd taste different.

The book “Indira Gandhi – A life in Nature”, was launched by Congress president Sonia Gandhi at the Indira Gandhi Memorial in the presence of former ministers, bureaucrats and environmentalists who worked closely with her to frame some of country’s landmarks wildlife and environment laws. Renowned mountaineer Capt Manmohan Singh Kohli recalled how Gandhi once told him “please call me as a daughter of the mountains”. The book has been written by former Union minister Jairam Ramesh and it has been published by Simon & Schuster.
