A drone is flying horizontally when it runs out of battery and begins to free fall from 20m. No drag. If it lands 60m away (in t

he x-direction) from where it began to fall, what was it's horizontal velocity while it fell

Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

At the time it takes to drop 20 m is the same time it takes to travel 60 m horizontally.

Givens

h = 20 m

hd = 60 m

g = 9.81

vi = 0

Formula

d = vi*t + 1/2 a * t^2                  We are solving for t

Solution

When the battery fails, the vertical initial velocity is 0. So we have to find the time it would take to drop 20 meters

d = 0*t + 1/2 * 9.81 a* t^2

20 = 4.91 * t^2                          Divide by 4.91

20/4.91 = 4.91 t^2 / 4.91    

4.073 = t^2                              Take the square root of both sides.

t = 2.02 seconds

Horizontal

d = 60 m

t = 2.02 seconds

v = ?

Note: there is no horizontal deceleration or acceleration

v = d/t

v = 60/2.02

Answer: v = 29.73 m/s

Suppose you have two identical sheets of paper and you crumple one of the sheets of paper into a ball. If you drop the crumpled
sammy [17]

Answer:

Because it can easily resist air resistance.

Explanation:

Since air resistance is not negligible, the crumpled paper will reach the ground first because it can easily resist air resistance surrounding it compare to the un-crumpled one that will be influenced by the air thereby causing the un-crumpled paper to spend more time in the air

A 1.0 kg ball falls from rest a distance of 19.6 m.
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

192.08J

19.6m/s

Explanation:

Since there will be no potential energy when the ball is on the ground, the change in potential energy is equal to the potential energy at the start when the ball is 19.6m above the ground.

PE=mgh

=(1)(9.8)(19.6)

=192.08J

v²=u²+2as, where v is the final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and s is distance. Initial velocity is 0 since it starts at rest.

v²=u²+2as

v²=0²+2(9.8)(19.6)

v=√384.16

=19.6m/s
