A rescue pilot drops a survival kit while her plane is flying at an altitude of 1.5 km with a forward velocity of 100.0 m/s. If

air friction is disregarded, how far in advance of the starving explorer’s drop zone should she release the package?

Given: Initial Velocity Vi = 100 m/s; Altitude y = 1.5 Km; Time t = ?

The aircraft is moving horizontally on x direction

Formula to follow: x = VicosΘt   but Time t is unknown. 

Solving for Time "t" formula will be y = VisineΘt + 1/2 gt² 

Since sineΘt = 0 therefore  y = 1/2gt² Solve for t

t = √2y/g  t = √2(1500 m)/9.8m/s²)   t = 31.24 s

Now solving for distance

x = VicosΘt  x = (100 m/s) (31.24 s) x =  3,124 m or 3.124 Km

1750 meters.  
First, determine how long it takes for the kit to hit the ground. Distance over constant acceleration is: 
d = 1/2 A T^2
 where
 d = distance
 A = acceleration
 T = time 
 Solving for T, gives
 d = 1/2 A T^2
 2d = A T^2
 2d/A = T^2
 sqrt(2d/A) = T 
 Substitute the known values and calculate.
 sqrt(2d/A) = T
 sqrt(2* 1500m / 9.8 m/s^2) = T
 sqrt(3000m / 9.8 m/s^2) = T
 sqrt(306.122449 s^2) = T
 17.49635531 s = T 
 Rounding to 4 significant figures gives 17.50 seconds. Since it will take
17.50 seconds for the kit to hit the ground, the kit needs to be dropped 17.50
seconds before the plane goes overhead. So just simply multiply by the velocity. 
17.50 s * 100 m/s = 1750 m

Answer:

q = (3 + e^{-4000 t} - 4 e^{-1000 t})\times 10^{-6}

at t = 0.001 we have

q = 1.55 \times 10^{-6} C

at t = 0.01

q = 2.99 \times 10^{-6} C

at t = infinity

q = 3 \times 10^{-6} C

Explanation:

As we know that they are in series so the voltage across all three will be sum of all individual voltages

so it is given as

V_r + V_L + V_c = V_{net}

now we will have

iR + L\frac{di}{dt} + \frac{q}{C} = 12 V

now we have

1\frac{d^2q}{dt^2} + (5 \times 10^3) \frac{dq}{dt} + \frac{q}{0.25 \times 10^{-6}} = 12

So we will have

q = 3\times 10^{-6} + c_1 e^{-4000 t} + c_2 e^{-1000 t}

at t = 0 we have

q = 0

0 = 3\times 10^{-6} + c_1  + c_2

also we know that

at t = 0 i = 0

0 = -4000 c_1 - 1000c_2

c_2 = -4c_1

c_1 = 1 \times 10^{-6}

c_2 = -4 \times 10^{-6}

so we have

q = (3 + e^{-4000 t} - 4 e^{-1000 t})\times 10^{-6}

at t = 0.001 we have

q = 1.55 \times 10^{-6} C

at t = 0.01

q = 2.99 \times 10^{-6} C

at t = infinity

q = 3 \times 10^{-6} C

Answer:

Part A: 43 m/s

part B: 40 m  i don't know why it is 40 not 42

Explanation:

Part A

you have

range = 188m

since you have an angle which means parabolic graph like this

you will use the range special rule, which is equal to (v₀²sin(2θ))/g

188=v₀²sin(88)/(9.8)

you will find the answer

Part B

You will the formula Δy=v₀t-(1/2)(g)(t²)

such that v₀ is in y direction which means  it will be 43sin(44) in this equation and the time can be got using the special formula  t=v₀ in y direction /g

then you will plug the time in the quadratic equation

Finally after you get the answer you will subtract 3 from it, but you will find it 42 not 40 , which is the right answer

An automobile travels between the 176.5-m and 295.7-m markers on the highway in 12.4s ...
DaniilM [7]
I've got a great idea !  Let's calculate the car's average speed !

Average speed  =  (distance covered)  /  (time to cover the distance)

  Distance covered = (position at the end) - (position at the beginning)

                               =  (295.7 m) - (176.5 m)  =  119.2 m

Average speed  =  (119.2 m)  /  (12.4 s)  =  9.61  'm' per 's' .
