Answer C

When the projectile reaches the maximal height Vy = 0

Vy = V°y - gt  if Vy = 0 ---- V°y = g t and t = V°y /g = 10 / 9.8 = 1.02041 s

Y = V°y t - 1/2 g t^2 --- 10 * 1.02041 - 0.5 * 9.8 * 1.04123= 10.2041 - 5.10204 = 5.1020 m

The duration of the free fall is identical in the time of rise = 1.02041

Time total = 1.02041 * 2 = 2.0408 s

Goodbye

Anesthesia awareness is a potentially disturbing adverse effect wherein patients who have been paralyzed with muscle relaxants may awaken. They may be aware of their surroundings but unable to communicate or move. Neurologic monitoring equipment that helps to more closely check the patient's anesthesia stages is now available to avoid the occurrence of anesthesia awareness.
