A child travels down a water slide, leaving it with a velocity of 4.2 m/s horizontally. The child then experiences projectile motion, landing in a swimming pool 3.2 m below the slide. For how long is the child airborne?

The us government wants to allocate billions of dollars in the next 10 years to assure our future energy security. the funds will be spread among a variety of possible energy resources. where do you think the government should put the greatest support: solar energy, wind energy, clean coal, oil exploration, gas exploration, or a combination of sources? are there other efforts that should be explored? support your position with cited information for both questions.

The force acting on a beam was measured under the same operating conditions and a sample of 5 data points was collected. this process was repeated by 3 observers. the pooled standard deviations of these 3 data sets was 1.21. determine the true mean force using all pooled data (with a 95% probability). the result should look like this: true mean = mean +/- margin of error

The speed of sound in ice, water, and steam is shown. what best explains the speed of sound in different states of matter? sound travels fastest in ice because energy is easier to transfer when the molecules are close together. sound travels slowest in steam because the sound has to move around the gas molecules that are far apart. sound travels fastest in ice because the temperature of solids is always greater, so the heat transfers the sound energy. sound travels slowest in steam because the pressure is so great the sound cannot travel though the steam particles.
