An Alaskan rescue plane traveling 39 m/s drops a package of emergency rations from a height of 198 m to a stranded party of explorers. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. Where does the package strike the ground relative to the point directly below where it was released?

Respuesta :

y = 0m

y0 = 166m

v0y = 0 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s^2

t = ?


Solve for t:

y = y0 + v0y*t - (0.5)gt^2

0 = 166 - (0.5)(9.8)t^2

t = 5.82 s


Now, using time, we can solve for the range using the equation:


x = vx(t)

x = (40)(5.82)

x = 232.8 m


The impact horizontal component of velocity will be 40 m/s as velocity in terms of x is always constant. To find the impact vertical component of velocity, we use the equation:


v = v0y - gt

v = 0 - (9.8)(5.82)

v = -57.04 m/s


Answer:

The package will strike at 247.65 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed = 39 m/s

Height = 198 m

Acceleration = 9.8 m/s²

We need to calculate the time

Using equation of motion

[tex]s = ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]198=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times t^2[/tex]

[tex]t=\dfrac{198\times2}{9.8}[/tex]

[tex]t=\sqrt{40.40}[/tex]

[tex]t=6.35\ sec[/tex]

We need to calculate the distance where the package strike the ground

Using formula of distance

[tex]d= vt[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]d=39\times6.35[/tex]

[tex]d=247.65\ m[/tex]

Hence, The package will strike at 247.65 m.
