If the passenger is 3.2m above her friend when the camera is tossed, what is the minimum initial speed of the camera, if it is to just reach the passenger? (Hint: When the camera is thrown with its minimum speed, its speed on reaching the passenger is the same as the speed of the passenger.)

Respuesta :

Answer:

The minimum velocity required is 7.923 m/s

Explanation:

The minimum speed required shall be equal to the speed that allows the camera to just reach a height of 3.2 meters

This can be solved using the third equation of kinematics as

[tex]v^{2}=u^{2}+2gs[/tex]

where

v = final speed of object

u = initial speed of object

s = is the height attained

Since finally velocity becomes zero thus the above equation reduces to

[tex]0=u^{2}-2\times 9.81\times 3.2\\\\\therefore u=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 3.2}\\\\u=7.923m/s[/tex]
