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>
The point is that water is moving smoothly but that the solutes are not.Even though the containers are chemically different (chemical disequilibrium), once all the solutes in one container are contrasted to all the solutes in another container, both have the same total solutes concentrations (this means that they are in osmotic balance).
