i have a question here about kinematics.
1. When a aircraft is 4000m above the ground and flying upwards with a velocity of 50 ms-¹ at an angle of 30º to the horizontal. A bomb is released.Neglecting air resistance, calculate
(a)the time taken by the bomb to reach the ground,
(b)the velocity of the bomb when it strikes the ground.(g=10 ms-²)
(a)h=4000m
vertical component of velocity=25.5
horizontal component of velocity=43.3
s=ut+1/2at²
4000=0+5t²
t=28.5
v=u+at
25=0+10t
t=2.5
t=28.5+2.5
t=31
is it correct?
(b)vertical component of velocity=25.5
v=u+at
=0+10(28.5)
=285 ms-¹
vertical component of velocity=285 ms-¹-25.5 ms-¹=259.5 ms-¹
velocity of bomb, v=(259.5²+43.3²)½
=263 ms-¹
please someone check the answer 4 me.TQ!
