Review 1: A plane is located x = 40 miles (horizontally) away from an airport at an altitude of h miles. Radar at the airport de

tects that the distance s(t) between the plane and airport is changing at the rate of s(t) = −240 mph. If the plane flies toward the airport at the constant altitude h = 4, what is the speed |x(t)| of the airplane?

Explanation:

Let h is the height of the plane above ground. x is the horizontal distance between the ground and the airport. Let s(t) is the distance between the plane and the airport. So,

s(t)^2={h^2+x^2}...........(1)

Given, h = 4, x = 40 and s(t) = -20 mph

Differentiate equation (1) wrt t

2s(t)s'(t)=2x(t)x'(t)

x'(t)=\dfrac{s(t)s'(t)}{x(t)}

When x = 40, s(t)=\sqrt{40^2+4^2}=40.19\ m

x'(t)=\dfrac{-240s(t)}{x(t)}

x'(t)=\dfrac{-240\times 40.19}{40}

x'(t)=-241.14\ m/s

So, the speed of the airplane is 241.14  m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

44. A rescue helicopter is hovering over a person whose boat has sunk. One of the rescuers throws a life preserver straight down
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

18.4 m

Explanation:

(a)

The known variables in this problem are:

u = 1.40 m/s is the initial vertical velocity (we take downward direction as positive direction)

t = 1.8 s is the duration of the fall

a = g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

(b)

The vertical distance covered by the life preserver is given by

d=ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2

If we substitute all the values listed in part (a), we find

d=(1.40 m/s)(1.8 s)+\frac{1}{2}(9.8 m/s^2)(1.8 s)^2=18.4m

14. a ball is thrown horizontally from the roof of a building 75 m tall with a speed of 4.6 m/s. a. how much later does the ball
Burka [1]

The time taken to hit the ground is 3.9 s, the range is 18m and the final velocity is 42.82 m/s

<h3>Motion Under Gravity</h3>

The motion of an object under gravity is the vertical motion of the object under the influence of acceleration due to gravity.

Given that a ball is thrown horizontally from the roof of a building 75 m tall with a speed of 4.6 m/s.

a. how much later does the ball hit the ground?

The time can be calculated by considering the vertical component of the motion with the use of formula below.

h = ut + 1/2gt²

Where

  • Height h = 75 m
  • Initial velocity u = 0 ( vertical velocity )
  • Acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s²
  • Time t = ?

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

75 = 0 + 1/2 × 9.8 × t²

75 = 4.9t²

t² = 75/4.9

t² = 15.30

t = √15.3

t = 3.9 s

b. how far from the building will it land?

The range can be found by using the formula

R = ut

Where u = 4.6 m/s ( horizontal velocity )

R = 4.6 × 3.9

R = 18 m

c. what is the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground?

The final velocity will be

v = u + gt

v = 4.6 + 9.8 × 3.9

v = 4.6 + 38.22

v = 42.82 m/s

Therefore, the answers are 3.9 s, 18 m and 42.82 m/s
