Answer:

Answer B is the correct answer: "<em>Motion of one projectile as seen from the other is a straight line.</em>"

Explanation:

Let's write the equations of motion for each projectile, using that projectile a is launched with velocity a which has components associated with the angle of launching, given in x and y coordinates as: a_x\,\,and\,\,a_y.

Similarly, assume that projectile b is launched with velocity b with components due to the launching angle = b_x\,\,and \,\,b_y

then the equations of motion for the two projectiles launched at the same time (t) from the same spot (position that we assume to be at the origin of coordinates to simplify formulas) are:

x_a=a_x\,t\\y_a= a_y\,t-\frac{1}{2} g\,t^2\\and\\x_b=b_x\,t\\y_b= b_y\,t-\frac{1}{2} g\,t^2

therefore, from the frame of reference of projectile "b", the x and y position of projectile "a" would be:

x_{a\,b}= x_a-x_b= a_x\,t-b_x\,t=(a_x-b_x)\,t  which is linear in "t"

y_{a\,\,b}=y_a-y_b= a_y\,t-\frac{1}{2} g\,t^2-\left[ b_y\,t-\frac{1}{2} g\,t^2\right]=(a_y-b_y)\,t which is also linear in t.

Therefore the motion of one projectile with reference to the other is a straight line (answer B)

Notice as well that this two projectiles cannot collide because they have been launched together, and supposedly at different speeds and angles. The only way that they can share the same x-coordinate and the same y-coordinate at the same time "t" is if their velocity components are equal, which is not what we are told.

x_a=x_b\\a_x\,t= b_x\,t\\and\\y_a= y_b\\a_y\,t-\frac{1}{2} g\,t^2= b_y\,t-\frac{1}{2} g\,t^2\\a_y\,t=b_y\,t\\a_y=b_y

A horse running at 3 m/s speeds up with a constant acceleration of 5 m/s2. How fast is the
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The horse is going at 12.72 m/s speed.

Explanation:

The initial speed of the horse (u) = 3 m/s

The acceleration of the horse (a)= 5 m/s^{2}

The displacement( it is assumed it is moving in a straight line)(s)= 15.3 m

Applying the second equation of motion to find out the time,

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}

15.3=3t+2.5t^{2}

2.5t^{2}+3t-15.3=0

Solving this quadratic equation, we get time(t)=1.945 s, the other negative time is neglected.

Now applying first equation of motion, to find out the final velocity,

v=u+at

v=3+1.945*5

v=3+9.72

v=12.72 m/s

The horse travels at a speed of 12.72 m/s after covering the given distance.
