D. Redefine the machine’s system boundaries.
The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy can't be created not destroyed. Energy, however, can be changed from one form to another. The law applies to isolated systems only. By redefining and expanding the system (including all factors affecting it) , the machine's ability to do work should improve.
I think the correct answer would be D. The tap water in the experiment is one the three test conditions of the independent variable, the type of water. The independent variable in a experiment is the one being manipulated or the one being changed. In this case, it is the type of water.
Answer:
24.4 m
Explanation:
first we have to calculate how long the cat will be in the air, in vertical direction this is free fall from 4m (poor cat, hope he survived) with acceleration of g=9.81 m/s^2
time = sqrt ( 2 * height / g)
time = sqrt (2 * 4 / 9.81)
time = 0,903 s
then we know his horizontal flight was 22 m long, so ve can calculate verical speed
speed = length / time
speed = 22 m / 0,903 s
speed = 24.363 m
as you are asked to give 3 significant numbers answer is 24,4 m
