The 48 and 47 are different atomic masses, this is caused by having a different number of neutrons.

You and your friend throw balloons filled with water from the roof of a several story apartment house. You simply drop a balloon

Aleks [24]

Answer:

Height = 53.361 m

Explanation:

There are two balloons being thrown down, one with initial speed (u1) = 0 and the other with initial speed (u2) = 43.12

From the given information we make the following summary

$u_{1}$ = 0m/s

$t_{1}$ = t

$u_{2}$ = 43.12m/s

$t_{2}$ = (t-2.2)s

The distance by the first balloon is

$D = u_{1} t_{1} + \frac{1}{2} at_{1}^2$

where

a = 9.8m/s2

Inputting the values

$D = (0)t + \frac{1}{2} (9.8)t^2\\ D = 4.9t^2$

The distance traveled by the second balloon

$D = u_{2} t_{2} + \frac{1}{2} at_{2}^2$

Inputting the values

$D = (43.12)(t-2.2) + \frac{1}{2} (9.8)(t-2.2)^2$

simplifying

$D = 4.9t^2 + 21.56t -71.148$

Substituting D of the first balloon into the D of the second balloon and solving

$4.9t^2 = 4.9t^2 + 21.56t -71.148 \\ 21.56t = 71.148\\ t = 3.3s$

Now we know the value of t. We input this into the equation of the first balloon the to get height of the apartment

$D = 4.9(3.3)^2\\ D = 53.361 m$

A surfer is moving at a constant velocity of 5.2 m/s north relative to a wave which is pushing him west at a constant velocity o

Vika [28.1K]

The speed and distances are directly proportional. Use ratios to solve for vertical y-distance. The ratio of x-distance west to y-distance north equals the x-velocity to y-velocity.

x/y = vx/vy
41/y = 8.6/5.2
41/y = 1.65
41/1.65 = y
24.8 m = y

What causes winds to form?

nlexa [21]

Wind is caused by differences in the atmospheric pressure. When a difference in atmospheric pressure exists, air moves from the higher to the lower pressure area, resulting in winds of various speeds. On a rotating planet, air will also be deflected by the Coriolis effect, except exactly on the equator.
