<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>

This is physics 11th grade and a homework question I don’t understand how to do this or what the question is asking me
Alexxx [7]

a) Frequency is the number of complete oscillations per second. Looking at the graph, there are 9 complete oscillations in 5 seconds. Thus,

Frequency = 9/5 = 1.8 oscillations per second

Frequency = 1.8 Hz

Period = 1/frequency = 1/1.8

Period = 0.056 s

b) When we differenctiate displacement with respect to time, the result is velocity.

Recall, period = 1/f = 5/9 cycles

1/4 cycle behind = 1/4 x 5/9 = 5/36

It is delayed with 5/36 sec with respect to displacement.

5/36 sec = 0.139 sec

Acceleration = first derivative of velocity = second derivative of displacement = 1/4 cycle behind velocity = 1/2 cycle behind displacement =

5/36 = 0.139 sec delayed with respect to velocity

= 5/18 = 0.2777 secs delayed with respect to displacement

Thus, the number of seconds out of phase with the displacements is 0.278 seconds

c) The formula for calculating the period of an ideal pendulum anywhere is

T = 2π√length/local gravity). We would calculate the local gravity.

From the information given,

length = 0.2

T = P = 5/9

Thus,

5/9 = 2π√0.2/local gravity)

(5/9)/2π = √0.2/local gravity

Square both sides. It becomes

[(5/9)/2π]^2 = 0.2/local gravity

local gravity = 0.2/[(5/9)/2π]^2

local gravity = 25.56 m/s^2

Thus,

acceleration due to gravity = 25.56 m/s^2

Recall, earth's gravity = 9.8 m/s^2

number of g forces = 25.56/9.8

number of g forces = 2.61

0.125 C of charge flow out of a
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Resistance = 252.53 Ohms

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Charge = 0.125 C

Voltage = 5 V

Time = 6.3 seconds

To find the resistance;

First of all, we would determine the current flowing through the battery;

Quantity of charge, Q = current * time

0.125 = current * 6.3

Current = 0.125/6.3

Current = 0.0198 A

Next, we find the resistance;

Resistance = voltage/current

Resistance = 5/0.0198

Resistance = 252.53 Ohms
