Homework Help Overview

The problem involves a mass falling from a height of 50 meters while being subjected to a horizontal wind velocity of 20 km/hr. The objective is to determine the horizontal distance the mass travels before hitting the ground, with gravitational acceleration given as 9.81 m/s².

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Problem interpretation, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the time it takes for the mass to fall to the ground and how to use that time to calculate the horizontal distance traveled. There is a suggestion to consider the horizontal velocity provided.

Discussion Status

Some guidance has been offered regarding the initial steps to solve the problem, focusing on the time of fall and the horizontal distance calculation. Multiple interpretations of the problem setup are being explored, particularly regarding the absence of the original question.

Contextual Notes

The original question is missing, and the problem is based on a self-sketch by the original poster, which may lead to uncertainties in the setup or assumptions.

You need to post the original question...
 
sorry
i have not original question because some one ask me for this question and i sketch this image by my self .
problem is: i hold mass 1 kg then i liberate it at height 50 m .at this time have the wind blows in horizontal from the left goes to right 20km/hr . if g = 9.81m/s^ 2 . How much is this mass fall far from original point ( horizontal distance )?
 
the first place to start is how long it takes for the ball to hit the ground.
this should be very straight forward.

then use that amount of time to see how far the ball travels in the x direction in this amount of time. hint: you are given the velocity in the x direction.

Hope this helps!
