Alice and Tom dive from an overhang into the lake below. Tom simply drops straight down from the edge, but Alice takes a running
1 answer:
Answer:c
Explanation:
Given
Alice launches with horizontal velocity
Tom simply drops straight down from the edge
Time taken by both the person is same as they have same initial vertical velocity i.e. zero so the time taken to reach the ground is zero.
Although Alice will travel more horizontal distance compared to Tom.
Thus option c is correct

Answer:
a) The swimmer should travel perpendicular to the bank to minimize the spent in getting to the other side.
b) 133.33 m
c) 53.13°
d) 106.67 m
Explanation:
a) The swimmer should travel perpendicular to the bank to minimize the spent in getting to the other side.
b) velocity = distance * time
Let the velocity of the swimmer be = 1.5 m/s
The separation of the two sides of the river, d = 80 m
The time taken by the swimmer to get to the other end of the river bank,
t = 80/1.5
t = 53.33 s
The swimmer will be carried downstream by the river through a distance, s
Let the velocity of the river be = 2.5 m/s
S = 53.33 * 2.5
S = 133.33 m
c) To minimize the distance traveled by the swimmer, his resultant velocity must be perpendicular to the velocity of the swimmer relative to water
That is ,
d) Downstream velocity of the swimmer,
The vertical displacement is given by,
80 = 1.2 t
t = 80/1.2
t = 66.67 s
the horizontal speed,
The downstream horizontal distance of the swimmer,
x = 1.6 * 66.67
x = 106.67 m
