A water balloon is thrown horizontally from a tower that is 45 m high. It strikes the shoes of an unsuspecting passerby who is 4

5 meters east of
the tower. With what magnitude was the balloon's horizontal velocity?

Answer:

14.85 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height (h) of tower = 45 m

Horizontal distance (s) moved by the balloon = 45 m

Horizontal velocity (u) =?

Next, we shall determine the time taken for the balloon to hit the shoe of the passerby. This is illustrated below:

Height (h) of tower = 45 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

45 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

45 = 4.8 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 45/4.9

Take the square root of both side

t = √(45/4.9)

t = 3.03 s

Finally, we shall determine the magnitude of the horizontal velocity of the balloon as shown below:

Horizontal distance (s) moved by the balloon = 45 m

Time (t) = 3.03 s

Horizontal velocity (u) =?

s = ut

45 = u × 3.03

Divide both side by 3.03

u = 45/3.03

u = 14.85 m/s

Thus, the magnitude of the horizontal velocity of the balloon was 14.85 m/s

A sled is pulled at a constant velocity across a horizontal snow surface. If a force of 100 N is being applied to the sled rope
tangare [24]

Answer:

60.18 N

Explanation:

Given that:

The force applied on the sled = 100 N

Suppose, the angle between the sled rope and the ground = 53°

The horizontal force which acts  in the horizontal direction can be expressed as:

F_x = F \ cos \theta

F_x = 100 \ cos (53)

F_x = 60.18 \ N

But if the angle between the sled rope is parallel to the ground. Then, we use an angle on a straight line which is = 180°

F_x = F \ cos \theta

F_x = 100 \ cos (180)

= 100 × -1

= -100 N

Birdman is flying horizontally at a
den301095 [7]

Answer:

68 m

Explanation:

Given that the horizontal velocity of the birdman = 17 m/s and

the height, h= 78 m.

The gravitational force is acting in the downward direction, so it will not change the horizontal speed.

The horizontal speed will remains be constant and will be equal to the initial horizontal speed of the turd.

Initially, the turd was also flying horizontally with the birdman, so the initial velocity of the turd is the same as the horizontal velocity of the birdman, i.e In the horizontal direction, u_0=17 m/s.

In the vertical direction, u = 0,

The distance to be traveled, in the direction of application of force, is equals to the height of the turd, i.e

s= 78 m

Let t be the time taken to cover a distance of 78 m.

Now, applying the equation of motion in the vertical direction,

s=ut+\frac 12 at^2

where u is the initial velocity and a is the acceleration due to gravity in the direction of displacement,s.

Here, a=g=9.81 m/s^2, so

78=0\times t +\frac 12 (9.81)t^2

\Rightarrow t^2=(78\times2)/9.81

\Rightarrow t = 4 seconds.

Hence, the time taken to reach the ground is 4 seconds.

As the horizontal speed, u_0=17 m/s, is constant throughout the journey, so

the horizontal distance covered by turd

= u\times t

= 17 \times 4 = 68 m.

So, the distance of landing from the start of the field is 68 m as the birdman releases a turd directly  above the start of the field.

Hence, the robot must hold the bucket at a distance of 68 m from the start of the field.
