A 4x100 relay is where 4 people run 100 meters and a 4x400 relay is where 4 people run 400 meters
No, they have different definitions
The strength of the friction doesn't matter. Neither does the distance or the time the asteroid takes to stop. All that matters is that the asteroid has
1/2 (mass) (speed squared)
of kinetic energy when it lands, and zero when it stops.
So
1/2 (mass) (original speed squared)
is the energy it loses to friction in order to come to rest.
Answer:
10.4 m/s
Explanation:
First, find the time it takes for the projectile to fall 6 m.
Given:
y₀ = 6 m
y = 0 m
v₀ = 0 m/s
a = -9.8 m/s²
Find: t
y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²
(0 m) = (6 m) + (0 m/s) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²
t = 1.11 s
Now find the horizontal position of the target after that time:
Given:
x₀ = 6 m
v₀ = 5 m/s
a = 0 m/s²
t = 1.11 s
Find: x
x = x₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²
x = (6 m) + (5 m/s) (1.11 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (1.11 s)²
x = 11.5 m
Finally, find the launch velocity needed to travel that distance in that time.
Given:
x₀ = 0 m
x = 11.5 m
t = 1.11 s
a = 0 m/s²
Find: v₀
(11.5 m) = (0 m) + v₀ (1.11 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (1.11 s)²
v₀ = 10.4 m/s
