Answer:
269 m
45 m/s
-58.6 m/s
Explanation:
Part 1
First, find the time it takes for the package to land. Take the upward direction to be positive.
Given (in the y direction):
Δy = -175 m
v₀ = 0 m/s
a = -9.8 m/s²
Find: t
Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²
(-175 m) = (0 m/s) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²
t = 5.98 s
Next, find the horizontal distance traveled in that time:
Given (in the x direction):
v₀ = 45 m/s
a = 0 m/s²
t = 5.98 s
Find: Δx
Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²
Δx = (45 m/s) (5.98 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (5.98 s)²
Δx = 269 m
Part 2
Given (in the x direction):
v₀ = 45 m/s
a = 0 m/s²
t = 5.98 s
Find: v
v = at + v₀
v = (0 m/s²) (5.98 s) + (45 m/s
v = 45 m/s
Part 3
Given (in the y direction):
Δy = -175 m
v₀ = 0 m/s
a = -9.8 m/s²
Find: v
v² = v₀² + 2aΔy
v² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) (-175 m)
v = -58.6 m/s
