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)

Two force vectors are oriented such that the angle between their directions is 38 degrees and they have the same magnitude. If t
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Sum of the forces will be equal to 3.479 N

Explanation:

We have given two same forces are oriented at an angle of 38°

Magnitude of each force is given F_1=F_2=1.84

We have to find the sum of the forces

Sum of the forces will be equal to

F=\sqrt{F_1^2+F_2^2+2F_1F_2cos\Theta }

So sum of the forces will be equal to F=\sqrt{1.84^2+1.84^2+2\times 1.84\times 1.84\times cos38^{\circ} }=3.479

So sum of the force will be equal to 3.479 N

KIM [24]

Answer:

9.6m/s

Explanation:

Using the equation S=d/t where s=speed, d=distance, and t=time

plug in the known variables

S=120m/12.5s

S=9.6m/s

How does adding more of a substance affect it's density?
fomenos
I’m going to use molasses as an example of a substance.

The mass and volume both change when changing the amount of molasses.
However, the density does not change. This is because the mass and volume increase at the same rate/proportion!

Even though there is more molasses (mass) in test tube A, the molasses also takes up more space (volume). Therefore, the spacing between those tiny particles that make up the molasses is constant (does not change).

The size or amount of a material/substance does not affect its density.
