To find the horizontal distance a 1 kg mass falls from a height of 50 m while being influenced by a horizontal wind of 20 km/hr, first calculate the time it takes for the mass to hit the ground using the formula for free fall. Given that g = 9.81 m/s², the time can be determined from the height. Once the time is known, use the horizontal wind speed to calculate the distance traveled in the x direction during that time. This approach provides a straightforward method to solve the problem. The key is to combine the vertical and horizontal motions to find the final distance from the original point.

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!
 
The book claims the answer is that all the magnitudes are the same because "the gravitational force on the penguin is the same". I'm having trouble understanding this. I thought the buoyant force was equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. Weight depends on mass which depends on density. Therefore, due to the differing densities the buoyant force will be different in each case? Is this incorrect?
