Answer to Question #136425 in Mechanics | Relativity for alfraid

Question

a child fall from the wall of 100 m height after 1 sec superman saw him from the upper end of wall and fly with a constant speed what should be the speed of superman to caught him at the lower point of wall ?

Answer 1

solution

given data

height of wall (H)=100 m

time taken by the child to reach the lower point of wall

$H=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

u=o m/sec

so

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2H}{g}}\\value\quad of\space g=10m/s\\t=4.47s$

after 1 sec superman saw him so he has t₂ =4.47 - 1=3.47 s to save the child

speed of superman (v)

$v=\frac{H}{t}=\frac{100}{3.47}\\=28.82 m/sec$

so speed of superman should be 28.82 m/s.
