A daring ranch hand sitting on a tree limb wishes to drop vertically onto a horse galloping under the tree. The constant speed o

f the horse is 10.0 m/s, and the distance from the limb to the level of the saddle is 3.00 m. (a) What must be the horizontal distance between the saddle and limb when the ranch hand makes his move? (b) For what time interval is he in the air?

The time it will take him to fall can be found from:-3m = -(g*t^2)/2
Find that time, it's the time the horse will travel horizontal while the cowboy is falling.So the horizontal distance away is  10 m/s * t

Alicia can row 6 miles downstream in the same time it takes her to row 4 miles upstream. She rows downstream 3 miles/hour faster
m_a_m_a [10]
Let us assume the upstream rowing rate of Alicia = x
Let us assume the downstream rowing rate of Alicia = y
We already know that
Travelling time = Distance traveled/rowing rate
Then
6/(x + 3) = 4/x
6x = 4x + 12
6x - 4x = 12
2x = 12
x = 6
Then
Rowing rate of Alicia going upstream = 6 miles per hour
Rowing rate of Alicia going downstream = 9 miles per hour.

One of the longer sides of a kite is 39 feet. one of the shorter sides is 25 feet. half the length of the shorter diagonal is 15
pychu [463]
The area of a triangle is found by multiplying the height of the triangle by the length of the base and dividing them both by 2. The length of the shorter side in the equation is useless information, so just multiply 39 by 25 and divide that by 2. A=487.5 sq ft. Also, that's a pretty big kite.

What is the weight of a feather (mass = 0.0001 kg) that floats through earth's and the moon's atmospheres?
Dvinal [7]

Weight = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity)

Acceleration of gravity = 9.81 m/s² on Earth, 1.62 m/s² on the Moon.

The feather's weight is . . .

On Earth:  (0.0001 kg) x (9.81 m/s²) = <em>0.000981 Newton </em>

On the Moon:  (0.0001 kg) x (1.62 m/s²) = <em>0.000162 N</em>

The presence or absence of atmosphere makes no difference.  In fact, the numbers would be the same if the feather were sealed in a jar, or spinning wildly in a tornado, or hanging by a thread, or floating in a bowl of water or chicken soup.  Weight is just the force of gravity between the feather and the Earth.  It's not affected by what's around the feather, or what's happening to it.
