This is a projectile motion problem, so, we use the formula for trajectory:

y =xtanα + gx^2/2v^2(cosα)^2

where 
y is the vertical distance (y = 50 m)
x is the horizontal distance (x=90 m)
α is the angle of trajectory; since it levels of HORIZONTALLY, α = 0°
v is the initial velocity 
g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 9.81 m/s^2

Substituting to the formula,

50 =90tan(0°) + (9.81)(90)^2/2v^2(cos0°)^2
v = 28.2 m/s

Answer:

The Horizontal component of initial velocity (V0x) must be 28.18 m/s.

Explanation:

Vertical distance = y = 50m    

Horizontal distance = x = 90 m  

We know that,

x = x0 + V0xt  

where,

x0 = Initial distance in horizontal direction = 0  

V0x = x/t = 90/t          ……… (i)

As,  

y = y0 + V0y + ½ gt^2

where,

y0 = Initial distance in vertical direction = 0

V0y = Vertical component of initial velocity = 0

So,

t = √(50)(2)/(9.8)

t = 3.194 s

Put t = 3.194 s in equation (i),

V0x = 90/3.194

V0x = 28.18 m/s

When red light and green light shine on the same place on a piece of white paper, the spot appears t obe?
katen-ka-za [31]
When red light and green lights shine on the same place on a piece of white paper, the spot appears to be Yellow in color. Complementary colors are always located directly across from each other on the graphic. For example cyan is located across from red, magenta across from green, and yellow across from blue. When primary color mix the produce secondary colors , for example a red light and a green light will combine to form a yellow color. The production of various colors of light by the mixing of the three primary colors of light is known as color addition.
