The equation to be used here is the trajectory of a projectile as written below:

y = xtanθ +/- gx²/2v²(cosθ)²
where
y is the vertical distance
x is the horizontal distance
θ is the angle of trajectory or launch angle
g is 9.81 m/s²
v is the initial velcity

Since the angle is below horizontal, let's use the minus equation. Substituting the values:

- 0.8 m = xtan15° - (9.81 m/s²)x²/2(4.8 m/s)²(cos15°)²
Solving for x,
x = 2.549 m

However, we only take half of this distance because it was specified that the distance asked before bouncing. Hence, the horizontal distance is equal to 1.27 m.

Emerging adults are typically financially independent from their parents.<br> True or false?
zmey [24]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

According to USA today "Though nearly 60% of the 18 to 21 year olds surveyed said they have a job, and 70% of the 22 to 26 year olds said the same, many seem to rely on mom and dad to fund non-essential expenses. Nearly 75% of the 18 to 21 year olds and more than 40% of 22 to 26 year olds said their parents pay their monthly cell phone bill. Just 54% of 22 to 26 year olds own or lease their own car; and 43% of 22 to 26 year olds are living at home with their parents."

Wegener believed continents moved, but he did not know how. Identify what needed to happen before Wegener's idea about moving co
pochemuha

D. Advances in technology were needed to gather more evidence.

Explanation:

New technologies had to be developed to ascertain Wegener's claims.

The major flaw in Wegener's postulate was that the moving continents lacked a mechanism to drive them into motion.

His theory needed more scientific backing also.

  • A major leap was made when new technologies used during the second world war was deployed to investigate the ocean floor.
  • Sequences of magnetic anomalies were unraveled using equipment developed during the second world war
  • This gave further proof to the idea of continental drift and it expanded the theory into a more broader and inclusive theory of plate tectonics.
