Answer:
Explanation:
Speed of an object is defined as the ratio of the distance covered by the object to the time taken to cover that distance.
Let be the speed of the object.
Let be the distance travelled by the object.
Let be the time taken by the object.
So,
s=
So,the speed of the car is
Answer:
(a) The package lands 682 meters horizontally ahead from the point the package was dropped from the plane
(b) The horizontal component = 39.0 m/s
The vertical component = 171.55 m/s
(c) The angle of impact is 77.19°
Explanation:
The parameters given are;
Velocity of the plane, vₓ = 39.0 m/s
Height of the plane above the ground, h = 1.50 × 10² m = 1,500 m
(a) The time, t, before the package hits the ground when dropped from the plane is given by the relation;
h = u·t + 1/2×g×t²
Where:
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
u = Initial vertical velocity = 0 m/s
Hence;
1500 = 0×t + 1/2 × 9.81 × t² = 4.905·t²
∴ t = √(1500/4.905) = 17.49 s
The horizontal distance the package travels before landing = 17.49 × 39 ≈ 682 m
The package lands 682 meters horizontally ahead from the point the package was dropped from the plane
(b) The vertical velocity, , of the package just before landing is given by the relation;
² = u² + 2·g·h
u = 0 m/s
∴ ² = 0 + 2×9.81×1500 = 29430 m²/s²
= √29430 = 171.55 m/s
Hence the horizontal component = 39.0 m/s
The vertical component = 171.55 m/s
(c) The angle of impact, θ, is given as follows;
∴ θ = tan⁻¹(4.4) = 77.19°.
