A standard fraternity-issue water balloon launcher is aimed and fired so that the propelled balloon impacts a dormitory room window that lies 4 meters above level ground (see diagram below). The position of the water balloon while it is in the air is given by x = 17.3t, y = -4.912 + 10t, where x gives the horizontal displacement and y gives the vertical displacement, both in meters, of the balloon from the launch site, t-seconds after it is launched. You may assume that the ballon this the window on the way down rather than on the way up. Launch Site
Continuing with the previous problem, what is the speed of the balloon when it hits the window? SHOW WORK. Use the equation editor (click on the pull-down menu next to an electric plug (Ý), choose "View All" and then select MathType at the bottom of the menu). Include units with your answer.
Continuing with the previous problem, what is the maximum height achieved by the balloon? SHOW WORK. Use the equation editor (click on the pull-down menu next to an electric plug ( v ), choose "View All" and then select MathType at the bottom of the menu). Include units with your answer.
