Answer:

128 m

Explanation:

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

Horizontal velocity (u) = 40 m/s

Height (h) = 50 m

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

Horizontal distance (s) =?

Next, we shall determine the time taken for the package to get to the ground.

This can be obtained as follow:

Height (h) = 50 m

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

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

50 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

50 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

t² = 50 / 4.9

t² = 10.2

Take the square root of both side

t = √10.2

t = 3.2 s

Finally, we shall determine where the package lands by calculating the horizontal distance travelled by the package after being dropped from the plane. This can be obtained as follow:

Horizontal velocity (u) = 40 m/s

Time (t) = 3.2 s

Horizontal distance (s) =?

s = ut

s = 40 × 3.2

s = 128 m

Therefore, the package will land at 128 m relative to the plane

A proton and an electron are released from rest, with only the electrostatic force acting. Which of the following statements mus
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

their electrical potential energy decreases. True, because of the negative sign as the distance decreases, it becomes more negative.

The kinetic energy increases. True, the force is attractive as the distance decreases the force increases, so acceleration and therefore the speed

Explanation:

The only force between the proton and the electron is electric

      Fe = k q1q2 / r2

      Fe = - k e2 / r2

We can see that it is an attractive force (negative sign)

The electric power energy is

       U = k q1 q2 / r

       U = -k e2 / r

 

The kinetic energy is

       K = ½ m v2

With the expressions for each term we can analyze the sentences :

Their electric potential energy increases. False,

their electrical potential energy decreases. True, because of the negative sign as the distance decreases, it becomes more negative.

The kinetic energy increases. True, the force is attractive as the distance decreases the force increases, so acceleration and therefore the speed

Kinetic energy decreases False

The acceleration decreases.  False, as the force increases so does the acceleration
