The first rule of vectors is that the horizontal and vertical components are separate. Disregarding air resistance, the only thing we have to worry about is gravity.
The appropriate suvat to use for the vertical component is v = u +at
I will take a to be -9.81, you may have to change it to be 10 if your qualification likes g to be 10.
v = 30 + (-9.81x2)
v = 30 - 19.62
=10.38m/s
Therefore we know that after 2.0 s the vertical component will be 10.38ms^-1, ie 10m/s as the answers given are all to 2sf.
The horizontal component is completely separate to the vertical component and since there is no air resistance, it will remain constant throughout the projectiles trajectory. Therefore it will remain at 40ms^-1.
Combining this together we get:
(1) vx=40m/s and vy=10m/s
Answer:
s = 3 m
Explanation:
Let t be the time the accelerating car starts.
Let's assume the vehicles are point masses so that "passing" takes no time.
the position of the constant velocity and accelerating vehicles are
s = vt = 40(t + 2) cm
s = ½at² = ½(20)(t)² cm
they pass when their distance is the same
½(20)(t)² = 40(t + 2)
10t² = 40t + 80
0 = 10t² - 40t - 80
0 = t² - 4t - 8
t = (4±√(4² - 4(1)(-8))) / 2(1)
t = (4± 6.928) / 2 ignore the negative time as it has not occurred yet.
t = 5.464 s
s = 40(5.464 + 2) = 298.564 cm
300 cm when rounded to the single significant digit of the question numerals.
Ventilation is very important because it helps remove the gas form people’s homes and schools and it redirects the random gas outside so it is less likely to hurt people
