Nuclear fusion in the core tries to blow the star apart. Gravity holds it together. Whoever designed that system really knew what he was doing. I'm kinda grateful to him.
Sunday, July 20, marked 45 years since the United States put the first two astronauts safely on the moon. The cost for the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs was more than $25 billion at the time more like $110 billion in today’s world. The ensuing U.S. space efforts have cost an additional $196 billion for the shuttle and $50 billion for the space station. NASA’s total inflation-adjusted costs have been more than $900 billion since its creation in 1958 through 2014 (more than $16 billion per year). Looking back, have we gotten our money’s worth from the investment?

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>
FORCE-physical power or strength possessed by a living being:
He used all his force in opening the window.
MOTION-the action or process of moving or of changing place or position; movement.
