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

here are some information of the future of geothermal energy:

-the future of geothermal energy can pretty much be summed up with a single word: more

-scientists plan in going deeper than 120 meters

-we are hoping that one day, we will get all of our energy from renewable energy sources such as geothermal energy

hope this !

causes

fossil fuels burn

cities become more industrialized

human population grows worldwide
