A rescue plane flying horizontally at 72.6 m / s spots a survivor in the ocean 182 m directly below and releases an emergency ki

t with a parachute. Because of the shape of the parachute, it experiences insignificant horizontal air resistance. If the kit descends with a constant vertical acceleration of 5.82 m / s 2 , how far away from the survivor will it hit the waves?

Answer:

547 m

Explanation:

From law of motion

s = ut + ½at²

Where "t" is Time taken to reach Earth

s= distance= 182 m

a= vertical acceleration = 5.82 m / s 2

U= initial velocity in vertical position = 0

182= ½ × 5.82t²

t²=( 2× 182)/ 5.82

= 364/5.82

= 62.54

t= √62.54

t= 7.908s

horizontal distance travelled = speed x time

Horizontal speed= 72.6 m / s

horizontal distance travelled =72.6× 7.908

= 547 m

Hence, the survivor will it hit the waves at 547 m away

In a science fiction novel two enemies, Bonzo and Ender, are fighting in outer spce. From stationary positions, they push agains
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

\frac{m_B}{m_E}=1.18

Explanation:

m_B = Mass of Bonzo

m_E = Mass of Ender

u_B = Initial Velocity of Bonzo = 2.2 m/s

u_E = Initial Velocity of Ender = -2.6 m/s

From conservation of linear momentum

m_Bu_B=m_Eu_E\\\Rightarrow \frac{m_B}{m_E}=\frac{u_E}{u_B}\\\Rightarrow \frac{m_B}{m_E}=\frac{2.6}{2.2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{m_B}{m_E}=1.18

\therefore \frac{m_B}{m_E}=1.18

What is the difference between the equilibrium vector and the resultant vector
Tresset [83]

the difference between a resultant and equilibrant vector is that resultant vector is a direct quantity, one with both magnitude and direction, while the equilibrant vector is a force equal to, but opposite of, the resultant sum of vector forces, that force which balances other forces.

What is Marie's instantaneous speed at 20 minutes in miles/min?
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

0.25miles/min

Explanation:

Instantaneous speed of a person or an object is its speed at a particular moment usually at a period of time.

The speedometer of a car reports the instantaneous speed.

 It can be mathematically expressed as;

        Instantaneous speed  = \frac{distance}{time}

At 20min the distance covered is 5miles;

    Instantaneous speed  = \frac{5 miles }{20mins}   = 0.25miles/min
