how to do this A young vandal wishes to hit a truck traveling at a constant speed of 20m/s with a water balloon. If the vandal i

s in a tree, 40 m from the top of the truck, how far should the truck be from the tree when she releases the balloon so that it hits the truck when it is at a position directly beneath her?

Answer:

6.89 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 40=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{40\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=2.9\ s

The water balloon will take 2.9 seconds to hit the tree

As, the truck is moving at a constant speed of 20 m/s it does not have acceleration

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=20\times 2.9+\frac{1}{2}\times 0\times t^2\\\Rightarrow s=6.89\ m

The boy has to release the balloon when the truck is 6.89 m away

In a two-body collision, if the momentum of the system is conserved, then which of the
lakkis [162]

Answer:

c) may also be conserved

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved  in both elastic and inelastic type of collisions.

But the differences is that:

In an ELASTIC type of collisions, KINETIC ENERGY IS ALSO CONSERVED.

whereas, In an INELASTIC type of collision, KINETIC ENERGY IS NOT CONSERVED.

So unless until type of collision is specified, we can not say anything about the conservation of kinetic energy after collision.

Hence, may also be conserved is the appropriate option here.
