A projectile is shot horizontally at 23.4 m/s from the roof of a building 55.0 m tall. (a) Determine the time necessary for the

projectile to reach the ground below. (b) Determine the distance from the base of the building that the projectile lands. (c) Determine the horizontal and vertical components of the velocity just before the projectile reaches the ground.

(a) 3.35 s

The time needed for the projectile to reach the ground depends only on the vertical motion of the projectile, which is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant acceleration

a = g = -9.8 m/s^2

towards the ground.

The initial height of the projectile is

h = 55.0 m

The vertical position of the projectile at time t is

y = h + \frac{1}{2}at^2

By requiring y = 0, we find the time t at which the projectile reaches the position y=0, which corresponds to the ground:

0 = h + \frac{1}{2}at^2\\t=\sqrt{-\frac{2h}{a}}=\sqrt{-\frac{2(55.0 m)}{(-9.8 m/s^2)}}=3.35 s

(b) 78.4 m

The distance travelled by the projectile from the base of the building to the point it lands depends only on the horizontal motion.

The horizontal motion is a uniform motion with constant velocity -

The horizontal velocity of the projectile is

v_x = 23.4 m/s

the time it takes the projectile to reach the ground is

t = 3.35 s

So, the horizontal distance covered by the projectile is

d=v_x t = (23.4 m/s)(3.35 s)=78.4 m

(c) 23.4 m/s, -32.8 m/s

The motion of the projectile consists of two independent motions:

- Along the horizontal direction, it is a uniform motion, so the horizontal velocity is always constant and it is equal to

v_x = 23.4 m/s

so this value is also the value of the horizontal velocity just before the projectile reaches the ground.

- Along the vertical direction, the motion is acceleration, so the vertical velocity is given by

v_y = u_y +at

where

u_y = 0 is the initial vertical velocity

Using

a = g = -9.8 m/s^2

and

t = 3.35 s

We find the vertical velocity of the projectile just before reaching the ground

v_y = 0 + (-9.8 m/s^2)(3.35 s)=-32.8 m/s

and the negative sign means it points downward.

Unlike acceleration and velocity, speed does not need to specify the direction of motion. Speed is a scalar quality.

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Explanation:

according to third equation of motion

2as=vf²-vi²

vf²=2as+vi²

vf=√2as+vi²

vf=√2as+vi

vf=√2*2*4+3

vf=√16+3

vf=4+3=7

so final velocity is 7 m/s

Applying Kirchhoff’s Junction Rule, what happens to the power source and current when the parallel circuit has two branches, eac
slamgirl [31]

The power source voltage remains the same in a  parallel circuit,

And we'll have equal current in both lines

<h3>Kirchhoff's junction rule</h3>

Generally, Kirchhoff's junction rule states that when there is current flow at any junction of a circuit, the total sum of this current rushing into the junction amount to the same amount of current out of the Node.

Therefore, when the parallel circuit has two branches

i=i1+12

Since we have an equal resistor therefore we'll have equal current in both lines i.e i1=i2

And Voltage remains the same in a  parallel circuit

5. Bill is swimming and drops his swim goggles in the pool. He looks from above the top of the water to see where they fell and
Alexus [3.1K]

The interaction of light that distorted the image of where Bill's goggles appear to be is Refraction.

<h3>What happens to the speed of light when it hits water in a swimming pool?</h3>

The light slows down when it passes from the less dense air into the water, this slow down of the ray of light which  causes the ray of light to change direction and then the changes the speed of the light that causes refraction.

The swimming pool appears shallow than it appear to be  because the rays of light coming from the bottom of the swimming pool that is refracted by the water making the height of the swimming pool to be above the actual swimming pool bed and there by misleading the observer(Bill).
