Answer:
a) 17.8 m/s
b) 28.3 m
Explanation:
Given:
angle A = 53.0°
sinA = 0.8
cosA = 0.6
width of the river,d = 40.0 m,
the far bank was 15.0 m lower than the top of the ramp h = 15.0 m,
The river itself was 100 m below the ramp H = 100 m,
(a) find speed v
vertical displacement
putting values h=15 m, v=0.8
............. (1)
horizontal displacement d = vcosA×t = 0.6×v ×t
so v×t = d/0.6 = 40/0.6
plug it into (1) and get
solving for t we get
t = 3.734 s
also, v = (40/0.6)/t = 40/(0.6×3.734) = 17.8 m/s
(b) If his speed was only half the value found in (a), where did he land?
v = 17.8/2 = 8.9 m/s
vertical displacement =
⇒
t = 5.30 s
then
d =v×cosA×t = 8.9×0.6×5.30= 28.3 m
