An inflatable raft (unoccupied) floats down a river at an approximately constant speed of 4.8 m/s. a child on a bridge, 81 m above the river, sees the raft in the river below and attempts to drop a small stone onto the raft. the child releases the stone from rest. in order for the stone to hit the raft, what must be the horizontal distance between the raft and the bridge when the child releases the stone?

19.5 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 0 (Assumed thrown from rest)

s = Displacement = 81 m

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

Equation of linear motion

The time taken for the stone to reach the river is 4.06371 seconds

Distance = Speed×Time

The horizontal distance between the raft and the bridge when the child releases the stone should be 19.5 m

s the environmental science is a broader field that incorporates many elements of earth and life sciences, whereas ecology is usually more focused on how organisms interact with each other and their surroundings, and often on a very specific population of living things. soo yea

explanation:

the working equation for the angular size is the product of the physical size and 360 degrees divided by the product of two pi and distance from earth. the minimum size would be 0.559 degrees while the maximum size would be 0.49 degrees.
