Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

     height (h) = 98.0 m,     speed (v) = 73.0 m/s,

Formula of height in vertical direction is as follows.

          h = \frac{gt^{2}}{2},

or,      t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}

Now, formula for the required distance (d) is as follows.

       d = vt

          = v \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}  

        = 73.0 m/s \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 98.0 m}{9.8 m/s^{2}}}  

          = 326.5 m

Thus, we can conclude that 326.5 m is the horizontal distance from the target from where should the pilot release the canister.

Consider a system to be two train cars traveling toward each other. What is the total momentum of the system before the train ca
Brut [27]

Let say the two train cars are of masses m_1 and m_2

now if the speed of two cars are v_1 and v_2

then we can say that the momentum of two cars before they collide is given by

P = m_1v_1 - m_2v_2

here two cars are moving in opposite direction so we can say that the net momentum is subtraction of two cars momentum.

Now since in these two car motion there is no external force on them while they collide

So the momentum of two cars are always conserved.

hence we can say that the final momentum of two cars will be same after collision as it is before collision

P = m_1v_1 - m_2v_2

For a star with a parallax angle of 1/2 of an at arcsecond, what will be its distance in parsec?
avanturin [10]

(1 parsec) is the distance at which an object has a parallax of 1 arcsecond. The distance is about 3.26 light years.

Another way to understand it is:  The distance from which the Earth's orbit appears 1 arcsecond across.

For a parallax angle of 1/2 arcsecond, the distance is <em>2 parsecs </em>(about 6.52 light years).

1 arcsecond is 1/3600 of a degree, 0.00028 degree.

Why is it important that a finger be wet<br> before it is touched to a hot clothes iron?
AleksandrR [38]

Why is it important that your finger be wet if you intend to touch it briefly to a hot clothes iron to test its temperature. If your finger is wet, some of the heat transmitted to your finger will be given to the water which has a high specific heat capacity and also a larger latent heat of vaporization.
