The two hot-air balloons in the drawing are 48.2 and 61.0 m above the ground. a person in the left balloon observes that the right balloon is 13.3° above the horizontal. what is the horizontal distance x between the two balloons?

x = 54.15 meters between the balloons horizontally.

Explanation:

Hence, vertical distance between balloons is 12.8 meters.

y= 61-48.2  = 12.2 m

A right-angle triangle is formed with,

angle θ = 13.3 degrees

opposite (y) = 12.8

adjacent (x) = ?

Now by putting the values in the above equation.

x = 54.15 meters between the balloons horizontally.

the answer is neither ball has a charge.

because if they were both positively charged, they will repel each other.

if they were positively and negatively charged, they will seek.
