Answer: 12.5m

Explanation:

Given the following :

Flagpole makes 20 complete vibrations in 10 seconds

Velocity (V) of vibration = 25m/s

Find the wavelength of vibration (λ) =?

Frequency is number of complete oscillation per Second

Therefore ;

Frequency (F) = number of oscillations / time taken

F = 20 / 10 = 2Hz

Wavelength = Velocity / frequency

Wavelength = 25 / 2

Wavelength = 12.5m

James threw a ball vertically upward with a velocity of 41.67ms-1 and after 2 second David threw a ball vertically upward with a

Reptile [31]

Answer:

When have passed 3.9[s], since James threw the ball.

Explanation:

First, we analyze the ball thrown by James and we will find the final height and velocity by the time two seconds have passed.

We'll use the kinematics equations to find these two unknowns.

$y=y_{0} +v_{0} *t+\frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2} \\where:\\y= elevation [m]\\y_{0}=initial height [m]\\v_{0}= initial velocity [m/s] =41.67[m/s]\\t = time passed [s]\\g= gravity [m/s^2]=9.81[m/s^2]\\Now replacing:\\y=0+41.67 *(2)-\frac{1}{2} *(9.81)*(2)^{2} \\\\y=63.72[m]\\$

Note: The sign for the gravity is minus because it is acting against the movement.

Now we can find the velocity after 2 seconds.

$v_{f} =v_{o} +g*t\\replacing:\\v_{f} =41.67-(9.81)*(2)\\\\v_{f}=22.05[m/s]$

Note: The sign for the gravity is minus because it is acting against the movement.

Now we can take these values calculated as initial values, taking into account that two seconds have already passed. In this way, we can find the time, through the equations of kinematics.

$y=y_{o} +v_{o} *t-\frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2} \\y=63.72 +22.05 *t-\frac{1}{2} *(9.81)*t^{2} \\\\y=63.72 +22.05 *t-4.905*t^{2} \\$

As we can see the equation is based on Time (t).

Now we can establish with the conditions of the ball launched by David a new equation for y (elevation) in function of t, then we match these equations and find time t

$y=y_{o} +v_{o} *t+\frac{1}{2} *g*t^{2} \\where:\\v_{o} =55.56[m/s] = initial velocity\\y_{o} =0[m]\\now replacing\\63.72 +22.05 *t-(4.905)*t^{2} =0 +55.56 *t-(4.905)*t^{2} \\63.72 +22.05 *t =0 +55.56 *t\\63.72 = 33.51*t\\t=1.9[s]$

Then the time when both balls are going to be the same height will be when 2 [s] plus 1.9 [s] have passed after David throws the ball.

Time = 2 + 1.9 = 3.9[s]

What homemade things could I use for wheels on a small balloon powered car?

Fantom [35]

You can use mostly anything as long as it is circular. Depending on how big it is, you could use sturdy paper plates and use a stick/rod and tape to hold it together, or you could use bottle caps if the car you are trying to make is really small.
