An American Red Cross plane needs to drop emergency supplies to victims of a hurricane in a remote part of the world. The plane

is traveling horizontally at 100.0 m/s at a height of 50.0 m above the ground. What horizontal distance does the package travel before striking the ground?

Refer to the diagram shown below.

Assume that air resistance is ignored.

Note:
The distance, h, of a falling object with initial vertical velocity of zero at time t is
h = (1/2)gt²
where
g = 9.8 m/s²

The initial vertical velocity of the supplies is 0 m/s.
It the time taken for the supplies to reach the ground is t, then
(50 m) = (1/2)*(9.8 m/s²)*(t s)²

Hence obtain
t² = 50/4.9 = 10.2041
t = 3.1944 s

The horizontal distance traveled at a speed of 100 m/s is
d = (100 m/s)*(3.1944 s) = 319.44 m

Answer: 319.4 m (nearest tenth)

please solve this for me ,A garden roller is pulled with a force of 200N acting at an angle of 50 degree with the ground level.f
Bingel [31]

Answer:

The force pulling the roller along the ground is 128.55 N

Explanation:

A force of 200 N acting at an angle of 50° with the ground level

This force is pulled a garden roller

We need to find the force pulling the roller along the ground

The force that pulling the roller along the ground is the horizontal

component of the force acting

→ The force acting is 200 N at direction 50° with ground (horizontal)

→ The horizontal component = F cosФ

→ F = 200 N , Ф = 50

→ The horizontal component = 200 cos(50) = 128.55 N

128.55 N is the horizontal component of the force that pulling the

roller along the ground

<em>The force pulling the roller along the ground is 128.55 N</em>

What part causes the disc brake caliper piston to retract when the brakes are released?
Orlov [11]
The part that causes the disc caliper piston to retract when the brakes are released is the square-cut O-ring.
The square cut seal is the most important part of a disc brake caliper, for keeping the brake behind the piston so that when you step on the brake pedal, it releases a pressure that applied to the piston which in return applies the pad to the rotor.

What is the frequency of a wave
MAVERICK [17]
The frequency of a wave is the number of waves that passes through a point in a certain time. The less waves that pass in a period of time the lower the frequency of the wave. The more waves that pass in a period of time the higher the frequency of the wave. When measuring wave length the time period used is usually one second.
