A plane drops a rubber raft to the survivors of a shipwreck. The plane is flying at a height of 1960 m and with a speed of 109 m

/s. The raft lands next to the survivors. Ignoring air resistance, how far away from the shipwreck was the plane when the raft was dropped? (g = 9.8 m/s2) (Round your answer to a whole number).

In this case the rubber raft has horizontal and vertical motion.

Considering vertical motion first.

We have displacement  s = ut +\frac{1}{2}at^2, u = Initial velocity, t = time taken, a = acceleration.

In vertical motion

    s = 1960 m, u = 0 m/s, a = 9.81 m/s^2

    1960 = 0*t+\frac{1}{2} *9.81*t^2\\ \\ t = 20 seconds

So raft will take 20 seconds to reach ground.

Now considering horizontal motion of raft

u = 109 m/s, t = 20 s, a = 0m/s^2

So s = 109*20+\frac{1}{2} *0*20^2 = 2180 m

So shipwreck was 2180 meter far away from the plane when the raft was dropped.

The driver of a 1000 kg car traveling at a speed of 16.7 m/s applies the brakes. If the brakes provide a force of - 8000 N to st
RSB [31]

Answer:

Given:

m=1000kg

u= 16.7m/s

v=0m/s

F=8000N

Required:

s=?

Solution:

F=m × a

8000N=1000kg × a

a=8m/s^2

Since it decelerate a= -8m/s^2

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

s=v^2 - u^2 / 2a

s= 0 - (16.7m/s)^2 / 2 × -8m/s^2

s= -278.89/-16

s= 17.43m

The car travels approximately 17.43m before it stops
