Runner A is initially 6.0 km west of a flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 9.0 km/h due east. Runner B is initia

lly 5.0 km east of the flagpole and is running with a constant velocity of 8.0 km/h due west. What will be the distance of the two runners from the flagpole when their paths cross

Answer:

From the data we know that runner A and runner B are 11 km apart from the start because (6+5) km

So the runner from the east direction has distance as unknown km, rate= 9 k/h ; time= d/r=x/9 hr

So runner towards the west will be

distance = 11-x, rate= 8 k/h, time = d/r = (11-x)/8

So equating east and west time we have

x/9= (11-x)/8

8x=99-9x

17x=99

x=5.92 km

That is the distance covered by runner towards the east and he will meet the runner toward the west at

6-5.92=0.08 km west of the flagpole.

<span>the time in flight comes from </span>
<span>x = Vht </span>
<span>58.8 = 21.45t </span>
<span>t = 2.74 seconds </span>

<span>his vertical velocity at landing is </span>
<span>28 sin40 = -18 m/s </span>

<span>his vertical velocity equation is </span>
<span>v = V0 - gt </span>
<span>-18 = V0 - 9.81(2.74) </span>
<span>V0 = -18 + 9.81(2.74) </span>
<span>V0 = 8.88 </span>

<span>his velocity magnitude was </span>
<span>v = (8.88^2 + 21.45^2)^½ </span>
<span>v = 23.2 m/s ANSWER </span>

<span>his initial direction was </span>
<span>tanθ = 8.88/21.45 </span>
<span>θ = 22.5 degrees above the horizontal ANSWER </span>

<span>to find the time to the flight apex from launch </span>
<span>v = gt </span>
<span>8.88 = 9.81t </span>
<span>t = 0.905 s </span>

<span>in 0.905 s Eddie has risen how far above the edge </span>
<span>y = ½(9.81)(0.905^2) </span>
<span>y = 4 m </span>

<span>the remainder of the flight is all drop and takes 2.74 - 0.905 = 1.85 seconds </span>

<span>in 1.85 seconds he drops </span>
<span>y = ½(9.81)(1.85^2) </span>
<span>y = 16.7 m </span>

<span>so the height from the edge to the landing point is </span>
<span>16.7 - 4 = 12.7 m ANSWER</span>
