A projectile is fired horizontally from a height of 10 m above level ground. The projectile lands a horizontal distance of 15 m from where it was launched. -Find the hang time for the projectile.
-Find the initial speed of a projectile.
-What are the x and y components of the projectile’s velocity the moment before it strikes the ground?
-At what speed will the projectile strike the ground?

a)t  = 1,43 s

b) V = 10,49 m/s

c) V₀ₓ = 10,49 m/s   ;    V₀y = 14,01 m/s

d) Vf = 17,5 m/s

Explanation:

According to the problem statement

V₀ = V₀ₓ    and  V₀y = 0

And at the end of the movement t = ?  the distance y = 10 m

Therefore as

h = V₀y - (1/2)*g*t²

Vertical distance y = h = 10 = V₀y*t - 0,5 (-9,8)*t²

10 = 4,9*t²

t² = 10/4,9    ⇒  t² = 2,04 s

t  = 1,43 s

a) 1,43 s is the time of movement

b) V₀ = V₀ₓ        V₀y = 0     and  V₀ₓ = Vₓ     ( constant )

Just before touching the ground, the horizontal distance is

hd = 15 = Vₓ * t

Then  15 /1,43 = Vₓ = V₀ₓ

Vₓ = 10,49 m/s

Then initial speed is V = 10,49 m/s    since V₀y = 0

Vf² = Vₓ² + Vy²

Vyf = V₀y - g*t

Vyf =  0 - 9,8 *1,43

Vyf = - 14,01 m/s

And finally the speed when the projectile strike the ground is:

Vf² = Vₓ² + Vy²

Vf = √ (10,49)² + (14,01)²

Vf = 17,50 m/s

we need answer choices

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.

hope this !
