here's what i did for this problem:
(Vy)^2 = (Vyo)^2 - 2g(y - yo)
0 = (Vyo)^2 - 2(9.8m/s^2)(3.5m-0m)
Vyo = 8.35m/s
my answer was incorrect however, I was wondering where I went wrong...
i guess that makes sense - see I thought of it as the plane would drop the supplies directly over the sled but the supplies don't drop straight down but dop at an angle so i drew a triangle. but i guess plane and sled going the same way makes more sense;)
A swimmier heads across a river, swimming at 1.20m/s relative to still water. It arrives at a point 67.0 m downstream from the oint directly across the river, which is 100.m wide. What is the speed of the river current?
Here's what I did:
tan^-1(67/100)
theta = 33.82 degrees
Vx =...
A cargo plane is dropping supplies to a group of people dogsledding acoss Antarctica. The plance drops the package when it is directly above the group of people at an altitude of 1950m. The dogsled travels at 5.68m/s and reaches the supplies in 6.70mins. What was the speed of the cargo plane...
