Use conservation of momentum ;

m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2

1200×15.6 + 0 = 2700v

v = 18720/2700

v = 6.933 or ~ 7 m/s

anastassius [24]
Equations of the vertical launch:

Vf = Vo - gt

y = yo + Vo*t - gt^2 / 2

Here yo = 35.0m
Vo is unknown
y final = 0
t = 4.00 s
and I will approximate g to 10m/s^2

=> 0 = 35.0 + Vo * 4 - 5 * (4.00)^2 => Vo = [-35 + 5*16] / 4 = - 45 / 4 = -11.25 m/s

The negative sign is due to the fact that the initial velocity is upwards and we assumed that the direction downwards was positive when used g = 10m/s^2.

Answer: 11.25 m/s

According to Ohm's law, a circuit with a high resistance _____. will have a low electric current will have a high electric curre

Remark
When you are asked a question like this, the first thing to do is search out a formula and put some limits on it.

Formula
I = E/R which comes from E = IR. To get to the derived formula, divide both sides by R
E/R = I*R/R
E/R = I

Discussion
This is an inverse relationship. That means that as one goes up the other one will go down. 

So in this case you keep E constant and you manipulate R and look at your results for I

Case 1

Let us say that E = 10 volts
Let us also say the R = 10 ohms

I = E/R
I = 10/10
I = 1 ohm

Case Two
Let's raise the Resistance to 100 ohms
E = 10
R = 100
I = 10/100 = 0.1 

Conclusion
As the Resistance goes up, the current goes down. Answer: A
