Answer:

The maximum height reached by the water is 117.55 m.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the water, u = 48 m/s

at maximum height the final velocity will be zero, v = 0

the water is going upwards, i.e in the negative direction of gravity, g = -9.8 m/s².

The maximum height reached by the water is calculated as follows;

v² = u² + 2gh

where;

h is the maximum height reached by the water

0 = u² + 2gh

0 = (48)² + ( 2 x -9.8 x h)

0 = 2304 - 19.6h

19.6h = 2304

h = 2304 / 19.6

h = 117.55 m

Therefore, the maximum height reached by the water is 117.55 m.

Starting from a pillar, you run 200 m east (the + x-direction) at an average speed of 5.0 m/s and then run 280 m west at an aver

zalisa [80]

Answer:

Total time taken=110 seconds

Total distance traveled=480m

Explanation:

First of all, we find the total time taken:

For that, we use the formula : Distance/Speed= Time

Time for part 1 : 200/5=40 seconds

Time for part 2 : 280/4=70seconds

Total time taken=110 seconds

Total distance traveled=480m

Average Speed= 480/110=4.36 m/s

Total displacement=200-280=-80m (Since this is displacement, we need to find the distance between the initial and final point. Also, I've taken east direction as positive and west as negative)

Average Velocity=-80/110=-0.72 m/s

OR 0.72m/s towards west.

Alla [95]

Answer:

$v_{ox}= 19.6\ m/s$

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Height above the ground, H= 5.0m

Range of the ball, R= 20 m

Initial horizontal velocity = $v_{ox}$

Initial vertical velocity= $v_{oy}$ (Since ball was thrown horizontally only)

Acceleration acting horizontally, $a_x$ = 0 m/s² [ Since no acceleration acts horizontally) ]

Vertical Acceleration, $a_y$ = 9.8 m/s² (Since only gravity acts on it)

Let 't' be the time taken to reach ground

Therefore, using equations of motion, we have

$H= v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}a_yt^2$

$5= (0)t+\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2$

$t= \frac{10}{9.8}=1.02 s$

Then using Equations of motion for horizontal motion,

$R= v_{ox}t+\frac{1}{2}a_xt^2$

$20= v_{ox}(1.02)+\frac{1}{2}(0)(1.02)^2$

$v_{ox}= 19.6\ m/s$

posledela

Answer:

180.4 m

Explanation:

The package in relation to the point where it was released falls a certain distance that is calculated by applying the horizontal motion formulas , as the horizontal speed of the plane and the height above the ground are known, the time that It takes the package to reach its destination and then the horizontal distance (x) is calculated from where it was dropped, as follows:

$V_{ox}=v_x = 40 \ m/s$
