<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>

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

2.74

Explanation:

Magnification = image distance/object distance

Mag = v/u

Given

v = 46cm

u = 16.8

Magnification = 46/16.8

Magnification = 2.74

Hence the magnification is 2.74

To reach a vertical height of 13.8 ft against gravity, which has an acceleration of 32 ft/s^2, the required vertical speed can be calculated from the equation:
vi^2 - vf^2 = 2*g*h
Given that it has vf = 0 (it is not moving vertically at its maximum height), g = 32, and h = 13.8, we can solve for vi:
vi^2 = 29.72 ft/s
This is only its vertical speed, so this is equivalent to its original speed multiplied by the sine of the angle:
29.72 ft/s = (v_original)*(sin 42.2<span>°</span>)
v_original = 44.24 ft/s
Converting to m/s, this can be divided by 3.28 to get 13.49 m/s.

The number line shows the graph of an inequality: which statement explains whether -3.5 can be a value in the shaded region?
guajiro [1.7K]

Yes it can, because −3.5 lies to the left of −0.5.

Yes it can, because −3.5 lies to the right of −0.5.

No it cannot, because −3.5 lies to the left of −0.5.

No it cannot, because −3.5 lies to the right of −0.5.

Yes it can, because −3.5 lies to the left of −0.5.

Answer: Option A.

<u>Explanation:</u>

This option has been chosen because the left of the 0 has been shaded and all the negative values lies on the left of zero. So -3.5 lies to the left of -0.5 and is in the shaded region of the number line.

In a number line, the figure -3.5 lies on the left side compared to the number -0.5 because the higher the value on the negative side of the number line, more left it would be on the number line.
