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)

Using this formula Vj = V; + at, If a vehicle starts from rest
Furkat [3]

Answer:

<em>The final speed of the vehicle is 36 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Uniform Acceleration</u>

When an object changes its velocity at the same rate, the acceleration is constant.

The relation between the initial and final speeds is:

v_f=v_o+a.t

Where:

vf  = Final speed

vo = Initial speed

a   = Constant acceleration

t   = Elapsed time

The vehicle starts from rest (vo=0) and accelerates at a=4.5 m/s2 for t=8 seconds. The final speed is:

v_f=0+4.5*8

v_f=36\ m/s

The final speed of the vehicle is 36 m/s

The sound from a bolt of lightning travelled 4.08 km in 12.0 s. What was the speed
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

83.67 m/s

Explanation:

Set up a calculation to convert units of measure to what you need.

You have km/s and you need m/s.

4.08km     1000 m         83.67m

-----------  X ----------  =  ---------------   the km will cancel out and you are left

 12.0 s          1 km              s              with m/s

What's is meant by relative motion?​
saveliy_v [14]

Relative motion means a motion relative to a reference point. We can also say, relative motion means motion referred or observed from a reference point.

For example, Alex is in a train and Ace is at the station, when the train starts moving, for Ace it is moving at a speed of 10 m/s, but for Alex it is moving at 0 m/s, or we can say that it is at rest for Alex, but in motion for Ace. This is relative motion.
