(d) How long does it take for the object to reach the ground from the highest point of motion? (e) What is the velocity of the object as it reaches ground? (Hint: Not zero).arrow_forward
- 8. A 200 kg weather rocket is loaded with 100 kg of fuel and fired straight up. It accelerates upward at 30 m/s² for 30 s, then runs out of fuel. Ignore any air resistance effects. (a) What is the rocket's maximum altitude? (b) How long is the rocket in the air before hitting the ground?arrow_forwardA bullet leaves a gun with a muzzle speed of 350.0 m/s. The bullet is fired straight into the air, how long does it take for the bullet to fall back to the ground? Air resistance doesn't have an effect.arrow_forwardWhile standing at the edge of the roof of a building, a man throws a stone upward with an initial speed of 6.61 m/s. The stone subsequently falls to the ground, which is 17.3 m below the point where the stone leaves his hand. At what speed does the stone impact the ground? Ignore air resistance and use ?=9.81 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity. A) Impact speed: _________________________ m/s B) How much time is the stone in the air? elapsed time: ____________ sarrow_forward

- A plane needs to drop supplies off to victims of natural disasters around the world. The first stop is for flood victims but they must drop the box so it lands perfectly on a target. If they are flying at 154 m/s and are 90.0 m above the ground, what distance before the target should they drop the package? 35.9 m 819 m 660. m 501 marrow_forwardA 10kg projectile is fired vertically upward from the ground. with an initial velocity of 50m/s. Determine the maximum height to which it will travel if atmospheric resistance is neglected.

The plane is flying 112.8 m above the ground at a speed of 196.8 m/s. We know that the plane should NOT drop the package when it is passing directly over the location. Instead, the plane needs to drop the supplies BEFORE it reaches the location. How far out (in meters) should the supplies be dropped? (in other words, how far horiszontally will the package go as it falls?) Ignore air resistance.arrow_forward
