A plane traveling horizontally at 120 ​m/s over flat ground at an elevation of 3610 m must drop an emergency packet on a target

on the ground. The trajectory of the packet is given by xequals 120​t, yequals minus4.9tsquaredplus3610​, for tgreater than or equals ​0, where the origin is the point on the ground directly beneath the plane at the moment of the release. How many horizontal meters before the target should the packet be released in order to hit the​ target? Set up an equation involving t that could be solved in order to find out how long it takes the packet to reach the ground after being released.

Answer:

x=3257.143\ m

Explanation:

Given:

  • horizontal velocity of the plane,
  • elevation of the plane,

Trajectory of the packet is given by:

x=120.t ...........................(1)

y=-4.9.t^2+3610 ...................(2)

<u>According to given at ground level we have y = 0.</u>

Putting this condition in eq. (2)

0=-4.9.t^2+3610

t=27.14\ s

<u>Now the horizontal distance travelled by the plane in the above time:</u>

(Due to inertia of motion the packet will also travel the same distance horizontally from the point where it is dropped.)

x=120\times 27.14

x=3257.143\ m is the horizontal distance from the target on the earth before which the packet must be released in order to reach there.

Answer:

Explanation:

Horizontal displacement

x = 120 t

Vertical position

y = 3610 - 4.9 t²

y = 0 for the ground

0 = 3610 - 4.9 t²

t = 27.14 s

This is the time it will take to reach the ground .

During this period , horizontal displacement

x = 120 x 27.14 m

= 3256.8 m

So packet should be released 3256.8 m before the target.

What does it mean to say that the average speed of a car is 35 miles per hour?
LenKa [72]
It means that the car has covered

(35 miles) x (the number of hours since it started traveling).

At some points during that time, the car was most likely moving
faster or slower than 35 miles per hour.  We don't know.  We only
know that it covered  (35 miles) x (the number of hours since it left).

You shoot an arrow into the air. Two seconds later (2.00 s) the arrow has gone straight upward to a height of 35.0 m above its l
sdas [7]

This question can be solved by using the equations of motion.

a) The initial speed of the arrow is was "9.81 m/s".

b) It took the arrow "1.13 s" to reach a height of 17.5 m.

a)

We will use the second equation of motion to find out the initial speed of the arrow.

h= v_it + \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\

where,

vi = initial speed = ?

h = height = 35 m

t = time interval = 2 s

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Therefore,

35\ m = (v_i)(2\ s)+\frac{1}{2}(9.81\ m/s^2)(2\ s)^2\\\\v_i(2\ s)=19.62\ m\\\\v_i = \frac{19.62\ m}{2\ s}

<u>vi =  9.81 m/s</u>

b)

To find the time taken by the arrow to reach 17.5 m, we will use the second equation of motion again.

h= v_it + \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = height = 17.5 m

vi = initial speed = 9.81 m/s

t = time = ?

Therefore,

17.5 = (9.81)t+\frac{1}{2}(9.81)t^2\\4.905t^2+9.81t-17.5=0

solving this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula, we get:

t = -3.13 s (OR) t = 1.13 s

Since time can not have a negative value.

Therefore,

<u>t = 1.13 s</u>
