<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>

Which has greater accuracy, the 10 mL graduated cylinder or the 50 mL graduated cylinder
mylen [45]
You can estimate one more digit past the smallest division on the measuring device. If you look at a 10mL graduated cylinder, for example, the smallest graduation is tenth of a milliliter (0.1mL). That means when you read the volume, you can estimate to the hundredths place (0.01mL).

Answer:

0.19m/s²

Explanation:

Initial velocity(u) = 50×1000/60×60

=13.88 m/s

Final velocity(v) = 36.5×1000/60×60

=10.13 m/s

Acceleration(a) = v-u/t

=10.13-13.88/19.5

a= -0.19m/s²

-a = 0.19m/s²

The magnitude of retar dation is 0.19m/s²

Would a bond between potassium and iodine most likely be covalent or ionic? Explain your answer
Ugo [173]
A covalent bond is between two nonmetals. An ionic bond is between a metal and a nonmetal. Potassium is a metal and iodine is a nonmetal, so their bond would most likely be ionic.

Which term is undefined?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

The term which is considered as being undefined is referred to as a point and is therefore denoted as option A in this context.

<h3>What is a Point?</h3>

This is defined as as small round mark written on a plane which signifies the position or location of a substance. This can also be seen as a dot and is also used to separate a group of numbers such as in the case of decimals etc.

It is referred to as being undefined alongside a plane, line etc as a result of it only being explained using specific examples and descriptions unlike a segment which can be viewed and understood easily when working on the parameter.

This is therefore the reason why a point is undefined and the most appropriate choice.
