3.01 m/s  
This is a simple projectile calculation. What we want is a vertical velocity such that the time the droplet spends going up and going back down to the surface exactly matches the time the droplet takes to travel horizontally 0.800 meters. The time the droplet spends in the air will is:
 V*sqrt(3)/2 ; Vertical velocity.
 (V*sqrt(3)/2)/9.8 ; Time until droplet reaches maximum height
 (V*sqrt(3))/9.8 ; Double that time for droplet to fall back to the surface.
 
 The droplet's horizontal velocity will be:
 V/2.
 
 So the total distance the droplet travels will be:
 d = (V*sqrt(3))/9.8 * V/2
 d = V^2*sqrt(3)/19.6
 
 Let's substitute the desired distance and solve for V
 d = V^2*sqrt(3)/19.6
 0.8 = V^2*sqrt(3)/19.6
 15.68 = V^2*sqrt(3)
 15.68/sqrt(3) = V^2
 15.68/1.732050808 = V^2
 3.008795809 = V 
 So after rounding to 3 significant figures, the archerfish needs to spit the water at a velocity of 3.01 m/s 
 Let's verify that answer.
 Vertical velocity: 3.01 * sin(60) = 3.01 * 0.866025404 = 2.606736465
 Time of flight = 2.606736465 * 2 / 9.8 = 0.531987034 seconds. 
 Horizontal velocity: 3.01 * cos(60) = 3.01 * 0.5 =

Classify a triangle with angle measures of 63 degrees and 27 degrees.
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

right

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of all three angle measures in a triangle will always equal 180 degrees. So, if you subtract 63 and 27 from 180 you will have your third angle measure, which is 90.

So now your 3 measures are 63, 27, and 90. Since one of the angles is a 90-degree angle, the triangle must be a right angle because a right angle has a measure of 90 degrees.

I hope this helps!

The center of a circle is at (7, –3) and it has a radius of 9. What is the equation of the circle?
jeka57 [31]
Given:
center (7,-3)
radius = 9

Equation of the circle:
(x-h)² + (y-k)² = r²
(x-7)² + (y-(-3)² = 9²
(x-7)² + (y+3)² = 81  Last option.

Suppose 1 Bamboo Skewer Is About 30 Cm Long. How Many Skewers Would It Take To Make A Line 1 Million Centimeters Long?
Soloha48 [4]

(1,000,000 centimeters) x (1 skewer/30centimeters) =

                  1,000,000 /30 skewers =  33,333 whole skewers,
                                                           plus one piece of one more skewer
                                                           cut into 3 equal pieces with the other
                                                           two pieces discarded.    

                 Another way to look at it:   <em>33,334 skewers</em>,
                                                            with 2/3 of one of them not included.
