As long as the car is on the road, it moves with a constant speed of 80km/h.
As soon as the car starts to fall down the cliff, it follows a parabolic motion. It means that it still moves with constant speed along the x axis, but it also starts to move along the y axis, with constant acceleration (i.e. the acceleration due to gravity).
The good thing about parabolic motions is that the two motions along the x and y axes are completely separable.
So, first of all, we need to know how long it takes for an object to fall for 75m. The equation of a constantly accelerated motion is
Where is the initial position,
is the initial speed, and
is the constant rate of acceleration. In our case, we start from an initial height of 75m, an initial (vertical!) speed of zero, and our acceleration is
. So, our equation becomes
And we want to solve for the time when (i.e. we want to know how long will it take for the object to reach the ground). We have
(I'm discarding the negative solution because it wouldn't make sense)
Now that we've used the vertical motion to find out the falling time, we can go back to the horizontal motion. We know that the car moves for a certain amount of time at a certain speed. So, we simply have to plug our values in the equation, to get
This is how far from the base of the cliff the vehicle lands.
Answer:
The distance away the center of the earthquake is 1083.24 km.
Explanation:
Given that,
Speed of transverse wave = 9.1\ km/s
Speed of longitudinal wave = 5.7 km/s
Time = 71 sec
We need to calculate the distance of transverse wave
Using formula of distance
....(I)
The distance of longitudinal wave
....(II)
From the first equation
Put the value of t in equation (II)
Hence, The distance away the center of the earthquake is 1083.24 km.
