<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>

Type the correct answer in the box. Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Calculate the man’s mass. (Use PE = m × g × h
Blababa [14]

Answer:

56 kg

Explanation:

The change in potential energy of the man is given by:

\Delta U = mg \Delta h

where

m is the man's mass

g is the gravitational acceleration

\Delta h is the change in height of the man

In this problem, we have:

\Delta U=4620 J is the gain in potential energy

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration

\Delta h=8.4 m is the change in height

Re-arranging the equation and substituting the numbers, we find the mass:

m=\frac{\Delta U}{g\Delta h}=\frac{4620 J}{(9.8 m/s^2)(8.4 m)}=56 kg

How much kinetic energy does a 1500 kg car have if it’s moving at 15 m/s
Tresset [83]

Answer:

Mass of car m = 1500 kg

velocity v = 15 m/s

kinetic energy = ½ mv2

= ½ x 1500 x (15)2    

= 1687501   kg m2 /s2

  = 168750J

A 2.74 g coin, which has zero potential energy at the surface, is dropped into a 12.2 m well. After the coin comes to a stop in
VikaD [51]

Answer:

B. - 0.328

Explanation

Potential Energy:<em> This is the energy of a body due to position.</em>

<em>The S.I unit of potential energy is Joules (J).</em>

<em>It can be expressed mathematically as</em>

<em>Ep = mgh........................... Equation 1</em>

<em>Where Ep = potential energy, m = mass of the coin, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity,</em>

<em>Given: m = 2.74 g = 0.00274 kg, h = 12.2 m, g = 9.8 m/s²</em>

Substituting these values into equation 1

Ep = 0.00274×12.2×9.8

Ep = 0.328 J.

Note: Since the potential energy at the surface is zero, the potential Energy with respect to the surface = -0.328 J

The right option is B. - 0.328
