<span>31.3 m/s Since the water balloon is being launched at a 45 degree angle, the horizontal and vertical speeds will be identical. Also the time the balloon takes to reach its peak altitude will match the time it takes to fall. So let's create a few expressions about what we know. Distance the water balloon travels at velocity v for time t d = vt Total time required for the entire trip is double since the balloon goes up, then goes down t = 2v/a Now let's plug in the numbers we have, assuming the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 t = 2v/9.8 100 = vt Substitute 2v/9.8 for t in the 2nd formula 100 = v(2v/9.8) Solve for v. 100 = v(2v/9.8) 100 = 2v^2/9.8 980. = 2v^2 490 = v^2 22.13594 = v So we now know that both the horizontal velocity and vertical velocity needed is 22.13594 m/s. Let's verify that 2*22.13594 / 9.8 = 4.51754 So it will take 4.51754 second for the balloon to hit the ground after being launched. 4.51754 * 22.13594 = 100 And during that time it will travel 100 meters horizontally. But we need to know the total velocity. And the Pythagorean theorem comes to the rescue. Just square the 2 velocities, add them together, and take the square root. We already know the square is 490 from the work above, so sqrt(490+490) = sqrt(980) = 31.30495 m/s</span>

If the frequency of an electromagnetic wave increases, does the number of waves passing by you increase, decrease, or stay the s
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

option(d)

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is the property of the source of wave.

The velocity of all the electromagnetic waves is same as the speed of light. It only changes as the light passes through one medium to another.

The frequency is defined as the number of waves coming out from the source in 1 second.

As the frequency of wave increases, the number of wave coming per second increases.

So, the number of waves passing by increases but the speed remains same.

List atleast to conditions that could cause the pressure inside a sealed container of gas to increase
hjlf
There are exactly three ways that could happen:

1).  The container was heated, and the gas inside it got warmer.

2).  Some part inside the container moved somehow, and made
      the inside volume smaller, so the gas got scrunched into a
      smaller space.

3).  Somebody pumped some more gas into the container, so
      a greater amount of gas had to live in the same space.

A car of mass 500kg travelling at 60m/s has it speed reduced to 40m/s by a constant breaking force over a distance of 200m. find
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Ek1 = 900000 [J]

Ek1 = 400000 [J]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must remember that kinetic energy is defined as the product of mass by velocity squared by a medium. Therefore using the following equation we have:

E_{k1}=\frac{1}{2}*m*v1^{2}

where:

m = mass = 500 [kg]

v1 = 60 [m/s]

So we have:

Ek1 = 0.5*500*(60^2)

Ek1 = 900000 [J]

and:

Ek2 = 0.5*500*(40^2)

Ek2 = 400000 [J]

Fossil fuels are formed when dead, buried, and decomposing organisms are compressed under extreme pressure and heat for millions of years. We need other sources of fuel today... s<span>trictly speaking you don't. But if we hold off developing alternatives until the fossil fuels truly run out, then there will be absolute chaos getting the new ones available. Thats all i got

A “point-light walker” wears lights on different body locations. When viewed in a dark room, an observer would perceive a(n):
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

person when the point-light walker is moving

Explanation:

A point light walker is an arrangement of dots that moves in a way that mimics a human walking. This is used in the field of Biological Motion Perception.

Biological motion perception is the science that deals with how our brain perceives motion. In order to understand how the brain perceives motion a point light walker is used.
