Answer:

<em>The correct option is 1.  720 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Projectile Motion</u>

When an object is launched in free air (no friction) with an initial speed vo at an angle \theta, it describes a curve which has two components: one in the horizontal direction and the other in the vertical direction. The data provided gives us the initial conditions of the survival package's launch.

\displaystyle V_o=250\ m/s

\displaystyle \theta =-37^o

The initial velocity has these components in the x and y coordinates respectively:

\displaystyle V_{ox}=250\ cos(-37^o)=199.7\ m/s

\displaystyle V_{oy}=250\ sin(-37^o)=-150.5\ m/s

And we know the plane has an altitude of 600 m, so the package will reach ground level when:

\displaystyle y=-600\ m

The vertical distance traveled is given by:

\displaystyle y=V_{oy}\ t-\frac{g\ t^2}{2}=-600

We'll set up an equation to find the time when the package lands

\displaystyle -150.5t-4.9\ t^2=-600

\displaystyle -4.9\ t^2-150.5\ t+600=0

Solving for t, we find only one positive solution:

\displaystyle t=3.6\ sec

The horizontal distance is:

\displaystyle x=V_{ox}.t=199.7\times3.6=720\ m

The correct option is 1.  720 m

On a dry day, just after washing your hair to remove natural oils and drying it thoroughly, run a plastic comb through it. Small
Hitman42 [59]
When the surface of the comb rubs on your hair, the comb is electrically charged. When the comb comes close to the paper, the charge on the comb causes charge separation on the paper bits. Since paper is neutral, positive and negative charges are equivalent. The charge on the comb charges the area of the bit of paper nearest the comb to the opposite. Thus, the bits of paper become attracted to the comb.

A high jumper jumps 2.04 m. If the jumper has a mass of 67 kg, what is his gravitational potential energy at the highest point i
Mariulka [41]

Answer: 1339.5 joules

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy, GPE is the energy possessed by the jumper as he moves against gravity.

Thus, GPE = Mass m x Acceleration due to gravity g x Height h

Since Mass = 67kg

g = 9.8m/s^2

h = 2.04 metres

Thus, GPE = 67kg x 9.8m/s^2 x 2.04m

GPE = 1339.5 joules

Thus, the gravitational potential energy at the highest point is 1339.5 joules
