Merchant's ship is sailing on the equator. During the sail, a container falls from the ship to the sea. The container sinks in thewater until it reaches the sea's bottom at 7.5 km from the water surface. It is given that the container sinks at constantvelocity of 10 m/s vertically down towards the bottom of the sea.What is the deflection (size and magnitude) between the point where the container has fallen from the ship and the pointwhere the container hits the bottom of the sea?Select one:a.409 mto the westb.823 m to the west○ c.729 m to the eastd. 75 m to the easte.75 m to the west○ f.823 m to the eastg.729 m to the wasth.409 m to the east

SITUATION 9. A small projectile is fired vertically downward into a fluid medium with an initial velocity of 60m/s. Due to the drag resistance of the fluid the projectile experiences a deceleration of a = -0.4v³m/s², where v is in m/s. Determine the projectile's velocity and position 4 s after it is fired.
unched, and ballistics is study of projectile motion. Examples of projectiles range from a golf ball in flight, to curve ball thrown by a baseball pitcher to a rocket fired into space. b) The force of gravity causes a projectile to follow a parabolic path: TRUE or FALSE? c) A ball is dropped, while another ball is thrown horizontally at the same time and from the same height. Both balls will hit the ground at the same time; TRUE or FALSE? d) Ignoring air resistance, a launched projectile moves through the air only under the force of gravity; TRUE or FALSE?

A child on a bridge throws a rock straight down to the water below. The point where the child released the rock is 94 m above the water and it took 1.2 s for the rock to reach the water. Determine the rock's velocity (magnitude & direction) at the moment the child released it. Also determine the rock's velocity (magnitude & direction) at the moment it reached the water. Ignore air drag.
Four rifles shown below are being fired horizontally (straight outward, off platforms). The bullets fired from the rifles are all identical, but the rifles propel the bullets at different speeds. The speed of each bullet and the height of each platform are given. All of the bullets miss the targets and hit the ground. Bullet A: Speed 1200 m/s, platform height 20m Bullet B: Speed 500 m/s, platform height 40m Bullet C: Speed 800 m/s, platform height 40m Bullet D: Speed 800 m/s, platform height 30m How much time each bullet will take to hit the ground? Explain reasoning: __________
You are driving along a straight section of road at 13 m/s when 10 m in front of you a furry creature jumps out into the middle of the road. You instantly slam on your breaks, but the breaks lock so that you slide along the pavement with kinetic coefficient of friction between the tires and the pavement of 0.65. By what distance do you stop short of running over the furry creature or by what distance is your roadkill dinner behind you when your car finally comes to a halt? Note that the total mass of the car (including you) is 1360 kg, while the mass of the furry creature is 2.6 kg.
A rifle that shoots bullets at 474 m/s is to be aimed at a target 46.1 m away. If the center of the target is level with the rifle, how high above the target must the rifle barrel be pointed so that the bullet hits dead center? Number i Units
The soccer ball shown weighs I lb and has a velocity of 20 fps at 40° to the horizontal prior to striking the soccer player's head. After the soccer player heads the ball, it has a velocity of 30 fps at 20° to the horizontal. If the duration of the impact is 0.15 sec, determine a. Express the initial and final velocities of the ball in Cartesian vector form b. Magnitude and direction of the average force exerted on the soccer ball by the player's head in Cartesian vector form.
A 5.0 G bullet is fired horizontally from a gun that is 4.5 M from the ground. The bullet travels at 1500 m/s and strikes a tree 200 m away. How long does it take the bullet to strike the tree? How far up the tree from the ground does the bullet it? (Neglect air resistance and take g = 9.80 m/s^2)
You are investigating an accident that occurred early on a foggy morning in Oxfordshire. A 2015 Prius Hatchback traveling due north collided in a highway intersection with a 2012 Nissan Pathfinder that was traveling due east. After the collision, the wreckage of the two vehicles was locked together and skidded across the level ground until it struck a tree. You measure that the tree is 11 m from the point of impact. The line from the point of impact to the tree is in a direction 39° north of east. From experience, you estimate that the coefficient of kinetic friction between the ground and the wreckage is 0.45. Shortly before the collision, a police officer with a laser speed gun measured the speed of the Prius to be 80 km/h and, according to a witness, the Prius driver made no attempt to slow down. Four people with a total mass of 230 kg were in the Nissan. The only person in the Prius was the 80 kg driver. The Nissan with its passengers had a mass of 2362 kg, and the Prius with its…
A group of dancers decided to have a contest on who’s gonna hit the target precisely. The loser will pay for their dinner. Dancer A fired the ball with a mass of 0.05 kg with an initial velocity 15 m/s at an angle 35° above the x-axis (neglect the air resistance). Find the total time the ball is in the air.
