Answer:

<em>(a) t = 4.52 sec</em>

<em>(b) X = 1,156.49 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Horizontal Launching </u>

If an object is launched horizontally, its initial speed is zero in the y-coordinate and the horizontal component of the velocity v_o remains the same in time. The distance x is computed as .

\displaystyle x=v_o.t

(a)

The vertical component of the velocity v_y starts from zero and gradually starts to increase due to the acceleration of gravity as follows

v_y=gt

This means the vertical height is computed by

\displaystyle h=h_o-\frac{gt^2}{2}

Where h_o is the initial height. Our fighter bomber is 100 m high, so we can compute the time the bomb needs to reach the ground by solving the above equation for t knowing h=0

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2h_o}{g}}

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2(100)}{9.8}}=4.52\ sec

(b)

We now compute the horizontal distance knowing v_o=256\ m/s

\displaystyle x=(256).(4.52)

X=1,156.49\ m

sammy [17]

Answer:

25 mm = 0 deg C

200 mm = 100 deg C

200 - 25 = 175 = change in thread per 100 deg C

95 - 25 = 70 mm - change in thread from 0 deg C

70 / 175 * 100 = 40 deg C    final temperature at 95 mm
