I think we will use the law of conservation of linear momentum;
M1V1 = M2V2
M1 = 4 kg (mass of the water balloon launcher)
V1=?
M2= 0.5 kg ( mass of the balloon)
V2 = 3 m/s
Therefore; 4 V1 = 0.5 × 3
4V1= 1.5
V1= 1.5/4
= 0.375 m/s

Explanation:
At the top of the tree, the velocity of the pebble is purely horizontal so we can calculate it as


The rock strike the water with the speed of 15.78 m/sec.
The speed by which rock hit the water is calculated by the formula
v=
v=
v=15.78 m/sec
Hence, the rock strike the water with the speed of 15.78 m/sec.
Answer:
Answer: The spring constant of the spring is k = 800 N/m, and the potential energy is U = 196 J. To find the distance, rearrange the equation: The equation to find the distance the spring has been compressed is therefore: The spring has been compressed 0.70 m, which resulted in an elastic potential energy of U = 196 J being stored.
Explanation:
Answer:
0.08 ft/min
Explanation:
To get the speed at witch the water raising at a given point we need to know the area it needs to fill at that point in the trough (the longitudinal section), which is given by the height at that point.
So we need to get the lenght of the sides for a height of 1 foot. Given the geometry of the trough, one side is the depth <em>d</em> and the other (lets call it <em>l</em>) is given by:

since the difference between the upper and lower base is the increase in the base and we are only at halft the height.
Now we can calculate the longitudinal section <em>A</em> at that point:

And the raising speed <em>v </em>of the water is given by:

where <em>q</em> is the water flow (1 cubic foot per minute).
