Answers:
a) -171.402 m/s
b) 17.49 s
c) 1700.99 m
Explanation:
We can solve this problem with the following equations:
(1)
(2)
(3)
Where:
is the bomb's final height
is the bomb's initial height
is the bomb's initial vertical velocity, since the airplane was moving horizontally
is the time
is the acceleration due gravity
is the bomb's range
is the bomb's initial horizontal velocity
is the bomb's final velocity
Knowing this, let's begin with the answers:
<h3>b) Time
</h3>
With the conditions given above, equation (1) is now written as:
(4)
Isolating :
(5)
(6)
(7)
<h3>a) Final velocity
</h3>
Since , equation (3) is written as:
(8)
(9)
(10) The negative sign only indicates the direction is downwards
<h3>c) Range
</h3>
Substituting (7) in (2):
(11)
(12)
Answer:
Fractional error = 0.17
Percent error = 17%
F = 112 ± 19 N
Explanation:
Plug in the values to find the force:
F = (3.5 kg) (20 m/s)² / (12.5 m) = 112 N
Find the fractional error:
ΔF/F = Δm/m + 2Δv/v + Δr/r
ΔF/F = 0.1/3.5 + 2(1/20) + 0.5/12.5
ΔF/F = 0.17
Multiply by 100% to find the percent error:
ΔF/F × 100% = 17%
Solve for the absolute error:
ΔF = 0.17 × 112 N = 19 N
Therefore, the force is:
F = 112 ± 19 N
The object will sail away in a straight line ... continuing in the same direction it was going when the centripetal force stopped.
