Tatiana [17]2 years ago
5 0

Explanation:

a. The force acting down is gravity, on Earth gravity is 10 m/s^2. When the skydiver jump, the acceleration will start out as -10 m/s^2, but it will eventually equals the air resistance , which is called terminal velocity.

A sling is used to give a stone an initial velocity of 20 at an angle of 30 above the horizontal. The stone travels through the
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Option E is correct.

There must be a horizontal wind opposite the direction of the stone's motion, because ignoring air resistance when calculating the horizontal range would yield a value greater than 32 m.

Explanation:

Normally, ignoring air resistance, for projectile motion, the range (horizontal distance teavelled) of the motion is given as

R = (u² sin 2θ)/g

where

u = initial velocity of the projectile = 20 m/s

θ = angle above the horizontal at which the projectile was launched = 30°

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

R = (30² sin 60°) ÷ 9.8

R = 78.53 m

So, Normally, the stone should travel a horizontal distance of 78.53 m. So, travelling a horizontal distance of 32 m (less than half of what the range should be without air resistance) means that, the motion of the stone was impeded, hence, option E is correct.

There must be a horizontal wind opposite the direction of the stone's motion, because ignoring air resistance when calculating the horizontal range would yield a value greater than 32 m.

Hope this Helps!!!
