Think in gravity, the moon is orbiting the Earth because of gravitational pull/force. Without this gravitational pull, the moon will just move in a straight line (Newton's first law).

A plane drops a rubber raft to the survivors of a shipwreck. The plane is flying at a height of 1960 m and with a speed of 109 m

Korolek [52]

In this case the rubber raft has horizontal and vertical motion.

Considering vertical motion first.

We have displacement $s = ut +\frac{1}{2}at^2$ , u = Initial velocity, t = time taken, a = acceleration.

In vertical motion

s = 1960 m, u = 0 m/s, a = 9.81 $m/s^2$

$1960 = 0*t+\frac{1}{2} *9.81*t^2\\ \\ t = 20 seconds$

So raft will take 20 seconds to reach ground.

Now considering horizontal motion of raft

u = 109 m/s, t = 20 s, a = 0 $m/s^2$

So $s = 109*20+\frac{1}{2} *0*20^2 = 2180 m$

So shipwreck was 2180 meter far away from the plane when the raft was dropped.

A slingshot is used to launch a stone horizontally from the top of a 20.0 meter cliff. The stone lands 36.0 meters away.

alisha [4.7K]

A)

It is a launch oblique, therefore the initial velocity in the vertical direction is zero. Space Hourly Equation in vertical, we have:

$S=S_{o}+v_{o}t+ \frac{at^2}{2} \\ 20= \frac{10t^2}{2} \\ t=2s$

Through Definition of Velocity, comes:

$\Delta v= \frac{\Delta S}{\Delta t} \\ v_x= \frac{36}{2} \\ \boxed {v_{x}=18m/s}$

B)

Using the Velocity Hourly Equation in vertical direction, we have:

$v_{y}=v_{y_{o}}+gt \\ v_{y}=10\times2 \\ \boxed {v_{y}=20m/s}$

The angle of impact is given by:

$cos(\theta) =\frac{v_{x}}{v_{y}} \\ cos(\theta) = \frac{18}{20} \\ cos(\theta) =0.9 \\ arccos(0.9)=\theta \\ \boxed {\theta \approx 25.84}$

Answer:

Kevin wants to make the firm private

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question in regards to the situation it seems that Kevin wants to make the firm private. Private Firms are companies that are owned by non-governmental entities or instead owned by a single individual or a very small amount of shareholders. Which is what Kevin seems to be wanting to do since he wants to buy back all the shares of the company so that only his family owns the company.
