If a projectile travels in the air for 8 seconds when does a projectile reach its highest point
emmainna [20.7K]

Given

The projectile is in air for a time of t=8 sec

To find

The time it takes to reach the highest point

Explanation

A projectile moves up to the highest point and then again moves down following a parabolic path.

So it will reach the highest point at a time half the time it requires to follow teh parabolic path.

The time taken to reach the highest point is 4 sec

Conclusion

The time taken is 4 sec.

Small-plane pilots regularly compete in "message drop" competitions, dropping heavy weights (for which air resistance can be ign
iren [92.7K]

plane is flying at an altitude of 70 m

now if an object is dropped from it then time taken by object to drop on ground will be given as

y = v_i* t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

here initial speed in vertical direction must be zero as plane is moving horizontal

given that

y = 70 m

a = 9.8 m/s^2

70 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}*9.8*t^2

t = 3.77 s

now since the plane is moving horizontally with speed v = 44 m/s

so the horizontal distance moved by the object will be

d = v_x * t

d = 44 * 3.77

d = 166.3 m

so the distance moved by the box is 166.3 m

A child is sliding down a slide at the playgound. is mechanicalenergy conserved
Flauer [41]

No. Mechanical energy is not conserved.  There's quite a bit of friction on the slide.  So some of the potential energy is lost to heat on the way down, and the child arrives at the bottom with hot pants and less kinetic energy than you might expect.
