- I’m going to use the equation Vf = Vi + at after we rearrange t = (Vf – Vi) ÷ a
- t = (-11.5 m/s – 11.5 m/s) ÷ -9.8 m/s2 = 2.35 seconds
- With a time of 2.35 m/s, and using the equation for constant velocity for our horizontal range, we calculate the range Range = Horizontal Velocity x time
Range = 9.6 m/s x 2.35 sec = 22.6m
Question: Now, set the muzzle velocity of the cannon to 12 m/s and set the angle of the cannon to 300. First calculate the time and the range using the above approach.

- A bird flies at a velocity of 10.00 m/s straight into the wind. If it takes the bird 22 minutes to travel 6 km relative to earth, what is the velocity of the wind? If the bird turns around and flies with the wind how long will it take to return 6 km?arrow_forwardSuppose a migrating bird flies at a constant altitude of 5 km, with a velocity of 42 km/h. At time t = 0 the bird passes directly above a radar station, where t is measured in hours. (a) How fast is the distance between the bird and the radar station changing after 10 minutes? Round your final answer to 2 decimal places and provide units. (b) How fast is the distance between the bird and the radar station changing at time t = 0, i.e. when the bird is directly above the radar station? Is this reasonable?
