Could anyone explain this please?

Solution: see in the question its given:
Velocity= 600Km/hr = 600x1000/3600 m/s=166.66m/s
Ht=1960m.

To Find: The range of the projectile (R).
Its actually a Projetile motion .

For a projectile Ht=1/2*g*t*t.There fore we get t= 20s.
R=V*t=166.66*20=3333.33m/s=3.333Km/hr.

Velocity:600*5/18 m./sec.=500/3m./sec. Hy=Uy*t+1/2g*t*t : 1960=0+ 1/2*9.8*t*t therefore t=20 sec. So Range AB=v*t=500/3*20 m.=10/3 km.=3.33 km.

What is projectile motion?

V=166.66m/s
Ht=1960m
t=20sec
R=v*t=166.66*20=3.33km.

Where did you get the value of "t"?

Linda said:   1 decade ago
Actually what is this question talking about when the time is not given.

v = 166.66m/s, h = 1960m.

Now s = u*t + 0.5*a*t*t which we have studied in Physics where, s = distance; u = initial velocity; a = acceleration; t = time.

In this context a = g(acceleration due to gravity).

Substituting given values in the previous equation we have,

1960 = 0+0.5*9.8*t*t(Since g=9.8m/s^2 and initial velocity,u=0).

Solving for t we get t = 20 seconds.

Now Distance = Velocity*time = 166.66(m/s)*20(seconds) = 3333.4m = 3.334km.

Distance = initial velocity *time + 1/2(acceration due to gravity * time^2).
i.e s = ut +1/2(gt^2).

For a freely falling bomb u = 0 So,

s = 1/2gt^2.

t = sqrt(2s/g) = sqrt(2*1960/9.8) = 20 seconds = 20/2600 hr.

Not the time during which bomb touches ground from the time when it was released is t and during that that time aeroplane will move a distance AB = speed of plane * time elapsed.

AB = (600)* 20/3600 = 3.33 km.

What is projectile motion and not sure about this question?
