You and your friend throw balloons filled with water from the roof of a several story apartment house. You simply drop a balloon

from rest. A second balloon is thrown downward by your friend 2.2 s later with an initial speed of 43.12 m/s. They hit the ground simultaneously. How high is the apartment house? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Neglect air resistance. Answer in units of m.

Answer:

Height = 53.361 m

Explanation:

There are two balloons being thrown down, one with initial speed (u1) = 0 and the other with initial speed (u2) = 43.12

From the given information we make the following summary

u_{1} = 0m/s

t_{1} = t

u_{2} = 43.12m/s

t_{2} = (t-2.2)s

The distance by the first balloon is

D = u_{1} t_{1}  + \frac{1}{2} at_{1}^2

where

a = 9.8m/s2

Inputting the values

D = (0)t + \frac{1}{2} (9.8)t^2\\ D = 4.9t^2

The distance traveled by the second balloon

D = u_{2} t_{2}  + \frac{1}{2} at_{2}^2

Inputting the values

D = (43.12)(t-2.2)  + \frac{1}{2} (9.8)(t-2.2)^2

simplifying

D = 4.9t^2 + 21.56t -71.148

Substituting D of the first balloon into the D of the second balloon and solving

4.9t^2 = 4.9t^2 + 21.56t -71.148 \\ 21.56t = 71.148\\ t = 3.3s

Now we know the value of t. We input this into the equation of the first balloon the to get height of the apartment

D = 4.9(3.3)^2\\ D = 53.361 m

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

mu=12Tm^2

Explanation:

the magnetic moment mu of a single loop is given by:

\mu = I A B

where I is the current, B is the magnetic field and A is the area of the loop. By replacing we obtain:

\mu=(0.5A)(4m*2m)(3T)=12Tm^2

hope this helps!!

Jake calculates that the frequency of a wave is 230 hertz, and its wave is moving at 460 m/s. What is the wavelength of the wave
Nesterboy [21]

Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency) = (460 m/s) / (230/sec) = <em>2 meters</em>
