A stone with a mass m is dropped from an airplane that has a horizontal velocity v at a height h above a lake. If air resistance

is neglected, the horizontal distance R from the point on the lake directly below the point of release to the point where the stone strikes the water is given by which formula? A) R = v(2h/g)^2 B) R = (1/2)gt^2 C) R = 2mv squareroot (2h/g) D) R = v squareroot (2h/g) E) None of these is correct.

Answer: Option B. R = (1/2)gt^2

Explanation:

S = R (horizontal distance)

V^2 = 2gS

V^2 = 2gR

R = V^2 / 2g

But V = gt

R = (gt)^2 / 2g

R = (g^2 x t^2) / 2g

R = gt^2 / 2

But t^2 = 2h/g

R = ( g x 2h/g) / 2

R = h

But h = (1/2)gt^2

R = h = (1/2)gt^2

A child on a swing sweeps out a distance of 45 ft on the first pass. If she is allowed to continue swinging until she​ stops, an
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

d = 90 ft

Explanation:

Here in each swing the distance sweeps by the swing is half of the initial distance that it will move

So here we can say that total distance in whole motion is  given as

d = 45 + \frac{45}{2} + \frac{45}{4} + \frac{45}{8}..........

since it is half of the distance that it will move in each swing so it would be a geometric progression with common ratio of 1/2

so sum of such GP is given by the formula

S = \frac{a}{1 - r}

d = \frac{45}{1 - \frac{1}{2}}

d = 90 ft

An important dimensionless parameter in certain types of fluid flow problems is the Froude number defined as V/√g.l where V is a
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

1.24611

Explanation:

V = Velocity = 10 ft/s

L = Length = 2 ft

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 32.2 ft/s²

Froude number is given by

Fr=\dfrac{V}{\sqrt{gL}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=\dfrac{10}{\sqrt{32.2\times 2}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=1.24611

Converting to SI units

10\ ft/s=10\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}

32.2\ ft/s^2=32.2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}

2\ ft=2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}

Fr=\dfrac{V}{\sqrt{gL}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=\dfrac{10\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}}{\sqrt{32.2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}\times 2\times \dfrac{1}{3.281}}}\\\Rightarrow Fr=1.24611

The Froude number is 1.24611

The Froude number is equal. The Froude number is dimensionless as the units cancel each other. In order for this to happen the units used need to be consitent either imperial or SI.
