The speed of light (electromagnetic radiation) is equal to 299 792 458 m / s or 3x10^8 m/s in scientific notation.

So with this information, we could now look for the distance. Solution:

Take note that μs means microseconds.

Speed of light * microseconds travelled * actual amount of microseconds
(3x10^8 m/s) (45.0 μs) (1x10^-6 s/μs) = 13,500 m.

Answer:

The bomb will remain in air for <u>17.5 s</u> before hitting the ground.

Explanation:

Given:

Initial vertical height is, $y_0=1500\ m$

Initial horizontal velocity is, $u_x=688\ m/s$

Initial vertical velocity is, $u_y=0(\textrm{Horizontal velocity only initially)}$

Let the time taken by the bomb to reach the ground be 't'.

So, consider the equation of motion of the bomb in the vertical direction.

The displacement of the bomb vertically is $S=y-y_0=0-1500=-1500\ m$

Acceleration in the vertical direction is due to gravity, $g=-9.8\ m/s^2$

Therefore, the displacement of the bomb is given as:

$S=u_yt+\frac{1}{2}gt^2\\-1500=0-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(t^2)\\1500=4.9t^2\\t^2=\frac{1500}{4.9}\\t=\sqrt{\frac{1500}{4.9}}=17.5\ s$

So, the bomb will remain in air for 17.5 s before hitting the ground.

Answer:

t = 25 seconds

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance, d = 115 m

Initial speed, u = 4.2 m/s

Final speed, v = 5 m/s

We need to find the time taken in increasing the speed.

We know that,

Acceleration, $a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$ ....(1)

The third equation of kinematics is as follows :

$v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\\text{Put the value of a in above equation}\\\\v^2-u^2=2\times \dfrac{v-u}{t}\times d\\\\\because (a^2-b^2)=(a-b)(a+b)\\\\(v-u)(v+u)=\dfrac{2\times (v-u)d}{t}\\\\t=\dfrac{2d}{v+u}\\\\\text{Putting all the values}\\\\t=\dfrac{2\times 115}{4.2+5}\\\\t=25\ s$
