A drone is flying horizontally when it runs out of power and begins to free fall from 16 m. No drag. If it lands 40 m away (in t

he x-direction) from where it began to fall, what was its horizontal velocity while it was falling

Answer:

the horizontal velocity while it was falling is 22.1 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

height of fall, h = 16 m

horizontal distance, x = 40 m

The time to travel 16 m is calculated as;

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 16}{9.8} } \\\\t = 1.81 \ s

The horizontal velocity is calculated as;

v_x = \frac{X}{t} \\\\v_x = \frac{40}{1.81} \\\\v_x = 22.1 \ m/s

Therefore, the horizontal velocity while it was falling is 22.1 m/s.

Help pls thx!!!!!!! <br> this is my last question i hope!
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Left

Explanation:

newtons is a measure of force. Since there is more newtons(force) pushing to the left, the object will move left. the 15 newtons cancel each other out, leaving only 5 newtons pushing to one side with no resistance.

A train moving at a constant speed on a surface inclined upward at 10.0° with the horizontal travels a distance of 400 meters in
Amiraneli [1.4K]
If the velocity of the train is v=s/t, where s is the distance and t is time, then v=400/5=80m/s. To get the vertical component of the velocity we need to multiply the velocity v with a sin(α): Vv=v*sin(α), where Vv is the vertical component of the velocity and α is the angle with the horizontal. So:

Vv=80*sin(10)=80*0.1736=13.888 m/s. 

So the vertical component of the velocity of the train is Vv=13.888 m/s.

Why are not all<br>materials conductive<br>to electricity​
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

In conductive materials, the outer electrons in each atom can easily come or go, and are called free electrons. In insulating materials, the outer electrons are not so free to move. All metals are electrically conductive.

victus00 [196]

Answer:

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is equal and opposite reaction.

While space walking, when the astronaut gets detached from the space ship, she floats in space holding a wrench. In order to get back to the spaceship, she should throw the wrench in the opposite direction of the spaceship. This action would  cause a reaction on her own body and she would be pushed away from the wrench and towards the spaceship. Thus, she can return back to the spaceship in this way.
