I'm not sure what "60 degree horizontal" means.
I'm going to assume that it means a direction aimed 60 degrees
above the horizon and 30 degrees below the zenith.
Now, I'll answer the question that I have invented.
When the shot is fired with speed of 'S' in that direction,
the horizontal component of its velocity is S cos(60) = 0.5 S ,
and the vertical component is S sin(60) = S√3/2 = 0.866 S . (rounded)
-- 0.75 of its kinetic energy is due to its vertical velocity.
That much of its KE gets used up by climbing against gravity.
-- 0.25 of its kinetic energy is due to its horizontal velocity.
That doesn't change.
-- So at the top of its trajectory, its KE is 0.25 of what it had originally.
That's E/4 .
D = distance between the cars at the start of time = 680 km
v₁ = speed of one car
v₂ = speed of other car = v₁ - 10
t = time taken to meet = 4 h
distance traveled by one car in time "t" + distance traveled by other car in time "t" = D
v₁ t + v₂ t = D
(v₁ + v₂) t = D
inserting the values
(v₁ + v₁ - 10) (4) = 680
v₁ = 90 km/h
rate of slower car is given as
v₂ = v₁ - 10
v₂ = 90 - 10 = 80 km/h
I’m gonna have to say “Ocean waves” as the answer
It confirmed medeleeve's hypothesis (prediction) and showed the use of his table
