Escape velocity is the speed that an object needs to be traveling to break free of a planet or moon's gravity well and leave it without further propulsion. For example, a spacecraft leaving the surface of Earth needs to be going 7 miles per second, or nearly 25,000 miles per hour to leave without falling back to the surface or falling into orbit.
I am pretty sure the answer is C.
Find the horizontal components vcos30 ...one goes right and one goes left so they cancel each other.
Find vertical components vsin30.....there are two of them.... so 2vcos30....hey presto... resultant velocity = 2vCos30
Answer:
3secs
Explanation:
Given the following parameters
height H= 81.3m
Velocity v = 12.4m/s
Required
Time it take to reach the ground
Using the equation of motion
H = ut+1/2gt²
81.3 = 12.4t + 1/2(9.8)t²
81.3 = 12.4t + 4.9t²
4.9t² + 12.4t - 81.3 = 0
Using the general formula to find t
t = -12.4±√12.4²-4(4.9)(-81.3)/2(4.9)
t = -12.4±√153.76+1593.48/2(4.9)
t = -12.4±√1747.24/9.8
t = -12.4+41.8/9.8
t = 29.4/9.8
t = 3secs
Hence it took 3secs to reach the ground
