Force on left crate, right crate and truck we need to draw here
First we will write the equation for left crate
Now similarly for right crate
now for truck
Now we know that F = 200 N
now add all three equation
now we will find all tension using this value of acceleration
Answer:
(A) 9.5 m/s
(B) 5.225 m
Explanation:
vertical height (h) = 4.7 m
horizontal distance (d) = 9.3 m
acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^{2}
initial speed of the fish (u) = 0 m/s
(A) what is the pelicans initial speed ?
s = ut +
since u = 0
s =
t =
where a = acceleration due to gravity and s = vertical height
t = = 0.98 s
speed of the fish = distance / time = 9.3 / 0.98 = 9.5 m/s
initial speed of the pelican = 9.5 m/s
(B) If the pelican was traveling at the same speed but was only 1.5 m above the water, how far would the fish travel horizontally before hitting the water below?
vertical height = 1.5 m
pelican's speed = 9.5 m/s
s = ut +
since u = 0
s =
t =
where a = acceleration due to gravity and s = vertical height
t = = 0.55 s
distance traveled by the fish = speed x time = 9.5 x 0.55 = 5.225 m
