Let t=time to reach the ground=8 secs, g= acceleration of gravity. The speed v on reaching the ground is gt=8g=78.4 m/s where g=9.8 m/s/s approx.
The driver is tooling along in his snowmobile, pointed north,
at 8.5 m/s.
He's carrying the flares with him, so the flares are also moving north
at 8.5 m/s.
When he fires the flare straight up, it has a vertical velocity of 4.3 m/s
straight up, and a horizontal velocity of 8.5 m/s towards the north.
The magnitude of the net velocity is √(4.3² + 8.5²) .
That's about 9.53 m/s, at some angle between straight up
and straight north.
The angle above horizontal is the angle that has a tangent of 4.3/8.5 .
I'll let you work out the angle.
Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think you meant to say "procedure" instead of "produced".
Choice B is the answer as it is the safest and most sensible (to prevent damage to clothing or start a fire for example). The other choices are nonsensical or silly.
Answer:
6.0 m below the top of the cliff
Explanation:
We can find the velocity at which the ball dropped from the cliff reaches the ground by using the SUVAT equation
where
u = 0 (it starts from rest)
g = 9.8 m/s^2 (acceleration of gravity, we assume downward as positive direction)
h = 24 m is the distance covered
Solving for h,
So the ball thrown upward is launched with this initial velocity:
u = 21.7 m/s
From now on, we take instead upward as positive direction.
The vertical position of the ball dropped from the cliff at time t is
While the vertical position of the ball thrown upward is
The two balls meet when
So the two balls meet after 1.11 s, when the position of the ball dropped from the cliff is
So the distance below the top of the cliff is
