The distance the package above the ground when it was released, s ≈ 530 meters

<h3 /><h3>What are kinematic equations?</h3>

The kinematic equation of motion gives the interrelationships of the variables of motion.The correct option for the distance the package above the ground when it was released, is the third option;

It is given that:

The velocity of the helicopter from which the package was dropped = 15 m/s

The time it takes the package to strike the ground = 12 seconds

The required parameter:

The height of the package from the ground when it was dropped

The kinematic equation of motion relating distance, s, time, t, acceleration due to gravity, g, initial velocity, u, and final velocity, v, is applied as follows;

The package continues the upward motion for some time, t₁, given as follows;

Upward motion of the package

v = u - g·t₁

v = 0 at highest point reached by the package;

Therefore;

0 = 15 m/s - 9.81 m/s²  × t₁

t₁ = 15 m/s/(9.81 m/s²) ≈ 1.5295022 seconds

The time the package takes to return to the initial starting point, t₂ = t₁

The time the package falls after returning to the point it was dropped, t₃, is given as follows;

t₃ = t - (t₂ + t₁) = t - 2 × t₁

∴ t₃ = 12 s - 2 × 1.5295022 s ≈ 8.940996 s

From the symmetry of the motion of a projectile, the velocity of the package when returns to its staring point where it was dropped = u (Downwards) = 15 m/s

The distance the package falls, s, which is the distance the package above the ground when it was released, is given as follows;

s = u·t + (1/2)·g·t²

s = 15× 8.940996  + (1/2) × 9.81 × 8.940996² = 526.22755346 ≈ 530

The distance the package falls, s ≈ 530 m = The height of the

The distance the package above the ground when it was released, s ≈ 530 meters

A 5,000 kg truck moving at 8 m/s has the same momentum as a 2,500 kg car. What is the velocity of the car?
rodikova [14]

Answer:

16 m/s.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of truck = 5000 Kg

Velocity of truck = 8 m/s

Mass of car = 2500 kg

Velocity of car =..?

Next, we shall determine the momentum of the truck. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of truck = 5000 Kg

Velocity of truck = 8 m/s

Momentum of truck =.?

Momentum = mass × velocity

Momentum = 5000 × 8

Momentum of the truck = 40000 Kg.m/s

Finally, we shall determine the velocity of the car as follow:

From the question given above, we were told that the car and truck has the same momentum.

This implies that:

Momentum of the truck = momentum of car = 40000 Kg.m/s

Thus, the velocity of the car can be obtained as shown below:

Mass of car = 2500 kg

Momentum of the car = 40000 Kg.m/s

Velocity of car =..?

Momentum = mass × velocity

40000 = 2500 × velocity

Divide both side by 2500

Velocity = 40000/2500

Velocity = 16 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the car is 16 m/s.
