In this case the rubber raft has horizontal and vertical motion.
Considering vertical motion first.
We have displacement , u = Initial velocity, t = time taken, a = acceleration.
In vertical motion
s = 1960 m, u = 0 m/s, a = 9.81
So raft will take 20 seconds to reach ground.
Now considering horizontal motion of raft
u = 109 m/s, t = 20 s, a = 0
So
So shipwreck was 2180 meter far away from the plane when the raft was dropped.
Answer:
The object in a uniform motion covers same distances in an equal time period. Objects in a non-uniform motion cover dissimilar distances in an equal time period.
Explanation:
The speed of the object traveling in uniform motion is constant, the actual speed and the average speed of the moving body is same.
Answer:
This is known as a Galilean transformation where
V' = V - U
Where the primed frame is the Earth frame and the unprimed frame is the frame moving with respect to the moving frame
V - speed of object in the unprimed frame
U - speed of primed frame with respect to the unprimed frame
Here we have:
V = -15 m/s speed of ball in the moving frame (the truck)
U = -20 m/s speed of primed (rest) frame with respect to moving frame
So V' = -15 - (-20) = 5 m/s
It may help if you draw a vector representing the moving frame and then add
a vector representing the speed of the ball in the moving frame.
