Ablow dart is fired horizontally from a height of 1.2 meters. if the dart hits a target that is .6m high and 12m away, what is the initial velocity of the dart?

Blow dart is projected from a height of 1.2 m

Dart will hit the target at height 0.6 m

so the vertical displacement of the dart will be 1.2 - 0.6 = 0.6 m

here we can say that in vertical direction kinematics is applied

now we can say that dart will hit the target after t = 0.35 s

so in the same time it will cover the distance 12 m in horizontal direction

so here in order to find the initial speed we can say

so dart is projected with speed 34.3 m/s in horizontal direction

answer would be letter choice (a),   a ball resting on a shelf. would be another example of potential energy   >   stored energy > not moving.

a ball spinning on a finger   >   kinetic energy > moving energy

a ball rolling on the ground   >   kinetic energy   > moving energy

a   ball flying through the air   > kinetic energy   >   moving energy

hope that                                         : )
