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

Which describes an object in projectile motion? Check all that apply.
Elodia [21]

Answer:

Gravity acts to pull the object down.

The object’s inertia carries it forward.

The path of the object is curved.

Explanation:

The motion of a projectile consists of two separate motions:

- A uniform motion along the horizontal direction, where the velocity is constant; since there are no forces along this direction, the velocity does not change, and so the object continues its motion for inertia --> so, the statement  "The object’s inertia carries it forward" is true.

- A uniformly accelerated motion along the vertical direction, with a constant downward acceleration (g=9.8 m/s^2, acceleration due to gravity). So, the vertical velocity changes, due to the presence of the gravity that acts to pull the object down.

- As a result of the combination of these two motions, the object follows a curved path (in particular, it is a parabolic path).

Is the relationship between velocity and centripetal force a direct, linear or nonlinear square relationship?
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

non linear square relationship

Explanation:

formula for centripetal force is given as

a = mv^2/r

here a ic centripetal acceleration , m is mass of body moving in circle of radius r and v is velocity of body . If m ,and r are constant we have

a = constant × v^2

a α v^2

hence non linear square relationship

. A newly discovered planet has three times the mass and five times the radius of Earth. What is the ratio of the acceleration d
NikAS [45]

Answer:

0.12

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity of a planet with mass M and radius R is given as:

g = (G*M) / R²

Where G is gravitational constant.

The mass of the planet M = 3 times the mass of earth = 3 * 5.972 * 10^24 kg

The radius of the planet R = 5 times the radius of earth = 5 * 6.371 * 10^6 m

Therefore:

g(planet) = (6.67 * 10^(-11) * 3 * 5.972 * 10^24) / (5 * 6.371 * 10^6)²

g(planet) = 1.18 m/s²

Therefore ratio of acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet, g(planet) to acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the planet, g(earth) is:

g(planet)/g(earth) = 1.18/9.8 = 0.12
