Answer:

x = 54.15 meters between the balloons horizontally.

Explanation:

Hence, vertical distance between balloons is 12.8 meters.

y= 61-48.2  = 12.2 m

A right-angle triangle is formed with,

angle θ = 13.3 degrees

opposite (y) = 12.8

adjacent (x) = ?

tan\theta = \dfrac{y}{x}

Now by putting the values in the above equation.

tan13^{\circ}=\dfrac{12.8}{x}

x=\dfrac{12.8}{tan13^{\circ}}

x = 54.15 meters between the balloons horizontally.

At what height is an object that weighs 490 newtons if its gravitational potential energy is 4900 J?
Sergio [31]

Answer:

The height at which the object is moved is 10 meters.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force acting on the object, W = F = 490 N

The gravitational potential energy, P = 4900 J

We need to find the height at which the object is moved. We know that the gravitational potential energy is possessed due to its position. It is given by :

P=mgh\\\\h=\dfrac{P}{mg}\\\\h=\dfrac{4900\ J}{490\ N}\\\\h=10\ m

So, the height at which the object is moved is 10 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

Average velocity is different than average speed because calculating average velocity involves ?

Direction!

Velocity is a vector quantity and speed is a scalar quantity. Vector quantities includes both magnitude and direction, while scalar quantities only have magnitude. :)

For an object starting from rest and accelerating with constant acceleration, distance traveled is proportional to the square of
natali 33 [55]

The problem states that the distance travelled (d) is directly proportional to the square of time (t^2), therefore we can write this in the form of:

d = k t^2

where k is the constant of proportionality in furlongs / s^2

 

<span>Using the 1st condition where d = 2 furlongs, t = 2 s, we calculate for the value of k:</span>

2 = k (2)^2

k = 2 / 4

k = 0.5 furlongs / s^2

The equation becomes:

d = 0.5 t^2

 

Now solving for d when t = 4:

d = 0.5 (4)^2

d = 0.5 * 16

<span>d = 8 furlongs</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>It traveled 8 furlongs for the first 4.0 seconds.</span>
