Let’s neglect the effects of air resistance on the ball. The motion of the ball is animated in the simulation (linked below). The animation assumes that the ball’s initial location on the y axis is y0 = 1 m, and the ball's initial velocity has components v0x = 20 m/s and v0y = 20 m/s. Calculate the horizontal distance the baseball travels before landing on the ground at y = 0. (Write only the numerical value rounded to a whole number and exclude the unit)arrow_forwarda drone begins flying towards a target located 200 m away from a point of constant altitude. The speed of the drone is 5 m / s and is always towards the target throughout the movement. The wind at a speed of 3 m / s blows perpendicular to the starting point and the target direction. Assuming that the drone is drifting with this wind speed, find the graph of the motion path of the drone.arrow_forward

- Joanna travels north 5 miles and then goes west 3 miles before coming straight back south 2 miles. What is her displacement?arrow_forwardJulie is an avid skydiver. She has more than 300 jumps under her belt and has mastered the art of making adjustments to her body position in the air to control how fast she falls. If she arches her back and points her belly toward the ground, she reaches a terminal velocity of approximately 120 mph (176 ft/sec). If, instead, she orients her body with her head straight down, she falls faster, reaching a terminal velocity of 150 mph (220 ft/sec). Since Julie will be moving (falling) in a downward direction, we assume the downward direction is positive to simplify our calculations. Julie executes her jumps from an altitude of 12,500 ft. After she exits the aircraft, she immediately starts falling at a velocity given by v(t) = 32t. She continues to accelerate according to this velocity function until she reaches terminal velocity. After she reaches terminal velocity, her speed remains constant until she pulls her ripcord and slows down to land. On her first jump of the day, Julie orients…arrow_forwardA space vehicle starts at an initial velocity of 100 m/s along the positive x-axis, and accelerates into space.
