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:
Suppose you want to shine a flashlight beam down a long, straight hallway. Just point the beam straight down the hallway -- light travels in straight lines, so it is no problem. What if the hallway has a bend in it? You could place a mirror at the bend to reflect the light beam around the corner. What if the hallway is very winding with multiple bends? You might line the walls with mirrors and angle the beam so that it bounces from side-to-side all along the hallway. This is exactly what happens in an optical fiber.
The light in a fiber-optic cable travels through the core (hallway) by constantly bouncing from the cladding (mirror-lined walls), a principle called total internal reflection. Because the cladding does not absorb any light from the core, the light wave can travel great distances.
However, some of the light signal degrades within the fiber, mostly due to impurities in the glass. The extent that the signal degrades depends on the purity of the glass and the wavelength of the transmitted light (for example, 850 nm = 60 to 75 percent/km; 1,300 nm = 50 to 60 percent/km; 1,550 nm is greater than 50 percent/km). Some premium optical fibers show much less signal degradation -- less than 10 percent/km at 1,550 nm.

Answer:
W = 0.060 J
v_2 = 0.18 m/s
Explanation:
solution:
for the spring:
W = 1/2*k*x_1^2 - 1/2*k*x_2^2
x_1 = -0.025 m and x_2 = 0
W = 1/2*k*x_1^2 = 1/2*(250 N/m)(-0.028m)^2
W = 0.060 J
the work-energy theorem,
W_tot = K_2 - K_1 = ΔK
with K = 1/2*m*v^2
v_2 = √2*W/m
v_2 = 0.18 m/s
Answer:
,Assume that the average volume of an adult human body is one-tenth
cubic meter (0.10 m) and that there are two billion (2.0 x 109)
adults in the world.
a. What would be the total volume of all the adults in the world?
b. Compute the length of one edge of a cubic container that has a
volume equal to the volume of all the adults in the world.
