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:
The distance traveled by the balloon is 10.77 m
Explanation:
velocity of the ball, = 2 m/s south
velocity of the air, = 5 m/s west
To determine the distance the balloon will travel after 2 seconds, first determine the resultant velocity of the balloon.
| 2m/s
|
|
↓
5m/s ←------------------
the two velocities forms a right angled triangle and the resultant will be the hypotenuses side of the triangle.
R² = 5² + 2²
R² = 29
R = √29
R = 5.385 m/s
The distance traveled by the balloon is calculated as;
d = R x t
where;
t is time of the motion = 2 seconds
d = 5.385 x 2
d = 10.77 m
Therefore, the distance traveled by the balloon is 10.77 m.
