- Raindrops fall to Earth from a cloud 1700m above the Earth's surface. If they were not slowed down by airresistance, how fast would the drops be moving when they struck the ground?

A B-24 flies over level ground at a speed of 134 m/s (with respect to the ground) and maintains an altitude of 3.15 km above the ground when it releases a single bomb. (a) Find the horizontal distance (in m) the bomb travels from the point of release to the point where it hits its target at ground level. Ignore the effects of air resistance. m (b) If the B-24 maintains a constant course, altitude, and speed while the bomb is falling, where will it be when the bomb hits the target? O behind the bomb O directly above the bomb O ahead of the bomb (c) Bombardiers in these aircraft used telescopic bombsight that allowed them to calculate the time of release. If the bombsight was directly viewing the target at the instant the bomb was released, what was the angle (in degrees) between the vertical (directly downward) and the viewing direction of the bombsight? o from verticalarrow_forwardA baseball is hit from a height of 1.0 m at an angle of 27 degrees above the ground.

- A beachgoer in Florida notices the waves crashing ashore are spaced 14 meters apart and hit the shore every 6 s. How fast (in m/s) are the waves traveling?arrow_forwardAn airplane needs to drop a package of supplies to a team in a remote location (landing is not possible). 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_forwardAs part of a circus performance, a man is attempting to throw a dart into an apple which is dropped from an overhead platform. Upon release of the apple, the man has a reflex delay of 270 milliseconds before throwing the dart. If the dart is released with a speed yo = 13 m/s, at what distance d below the platform should the man aim if the dart is to strike the apple before it hits the ground? Vo 1.50 m Answer: d = i 11.5 m m 8.2 marrow_forward
