<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>

swings a 5.5 kg cup of water in a vertical circle of radius 1.9 m. (a) What minimum speed must the cup have in this demo if the
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

4.32

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration of any object is given as

A(cr) = v²/r, where

A(c) = the centripetal acceleration

v = the linear acceleration

r = the given radius, 1.9 m

Since we are not given directly the centripetal acceleration, we'd be using the value of acceleration due to gravity, 9.8. This means that

9.8 = v²/1.9

v² = 1.9 * 9.8

v² = 18.62

v = √18.62

v = 4.32 m/s

This means that, the minimum speed the cup must have so as not to get wet or any spill is 4.32 m/s
