A heavy book is launched horizontally out a window from the first floor, a height, h, above the ground, with initial velocity, v

0, and it hits the ground a horizontal distance X1 away from the window. Another book is similarly launched (same initial velocity) from the second floor window, a height 2h above the ground. Where does the second book land relative to the first book

Answer:

x₂ / x₁ = √2

Explanation:

To solve this exercise we can use the projectile launch ratios, let's find the time it takes for the second book to reach the ground

             y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

as the book is thrown horizontally v_{oy} = 0, when it reaches the ground its height is zero y= 0

            0 = y₀ - ½ g t²

            t = \sqrt{    \frac{2y_o}{ g} }

            t = \sqrt{    \frac{2 \ 2h}{ g} }

with this time we calculate the horizontal distance traveled

            x = v₀ t

            x₂ = v₀ \sqrt{  \frac{4h}{g} }

now let's calculate the time it takes him to get to the floor when he leaves from the first floor

           t =\sqrt{    \frac{2y_o}{ g} }

the horizontal distance traveled is

           x₁ = v₀ \sqrt{ \frac{2h}{g} }

therefore the difference in distance between the two runs is

           Δx = x₂-x₁

           Δx = v₀ \sqrt{ \frac{4h}{g} } - v₀ \sqrt{ \frac{2h}{g} }

            Δx = v₀ \sqrt{ \frac{2h}{g} }    √2

            Δx =√2    x₁

the relationship between the two distances is

             x₂ / x₁ = √2

Hello there.

1.986*10^6

10^6=1,000,000

1.986*1,000,000

<u><em>Answer=1,986,000</em></u>

Explanation: First you had to ten to the six power of the ten with six times. It gave us 1000000 should be have six zeros at any time. Then you can multiply by 1.986*1000000=1,986,000 is the right answer. Hope this helps! Thank you for posting your question at here on Brainly. -Charlie

Jane, looking for tarzan, is running at top speed 5.3 m/s and grabs a vine hanging vertically from a tall tree in the jungle. ho
lutik1710 [3]

v₀ = initial speed as tarzan grabs the vine = 5.3 m/s

v = final speed as the tarzan reach the maximum height = 0 m/s

h = maximum height gained by the tarzan

m = mass of tarzan

using conservation of energy

initial kinetic energy = final kinetic energy + potential energy

(0.5) m v²₀ = (0.5) m v² + m g h

(0.5) v²₀ = (0.5) v² + g h

(0.5) (5.3)² = (0.5) (0)² + (9.8) h

h = 1.43 m

Fighter jet starting from airbase A flies 300 km east , then 350 km at 30° west of north and then 150km north to arrive finally
Tems11 [23]
A jet fighter flies from the airbase A 300 km East to the point M. Then 350 km at 30° West of North.
It means : at 60° North of West. So the distance from the final point to the line AM is :
350 · cos 60° = 350 · 0.866 = 303.1 km
Let`s assume that there is a line N on AM.
AN = 125 km and NM = 175 km.
And finally jet fighter flies 150 km North to arrive at airbase B.
NB = 303.1 + 150 = 453.1 km
Then we can use the Pythagorean theorem.
d ( AB ) = √(453.1² + 125²) = √(205,299.61 + 15,625) = 470 km
Also foe a direction: cos α = 125 / 470 = 0.266
α = cos^(-1) 0.266 = 74.6°
90° - 74.6° = 15.4°
Answer: The distance between the airbase A and B is 470 km.
Direction is : 15.4° East from the North.

To calculate the change in kinetic energy, you must know the force as a function of _______. The work done by the force causes t
QveST [7]

Answer:

(c) position

Explanation:

From the work-energy theorem, the workdone by a force on a body causes a change in kinetic energy of the body.

But, remember that the work done (W) by a force (F) on a body is the product of the force and the distance d, moved by the body caused by the force. i.e

W = F x d

This distance is a measure of the position of the body at a given instance.

Therefore, the work done is given by the force as a function of distance (or position).
