An amateur player is about to throw a dart with an initial velocity of 15 meters/second onto a dartboard that is at a distance of 2.7 meters. calculate the vertical distance by which the player will miss the target if he throws the dart horizontally, in line with the dartboard. a. 0.08 meters b. 0.16 meters c. 0.32 meters d. 1.8 meters

B. 0.16 m

Explanation:

The vertical distance by which the player will miss the target is equal to the vertical distance covered by the dart during its motion.

Since the dart is thrown horizontally, the initial vertical velocity is zero:

While the horizontal velocity is

The horizontal distance covered is

Since the dart moves by uniform motion along the horizontal direction, the time it takes for covering this distance is

along the vertical direction, the motion is a uniformly accelerated motion with constant downward acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2, so the vertical distance covered is given by

hi,

what occurs during a solar eclipse?

there are small tides across earth.

the moon is between earth and the sun.

p.s. im not sure if the first answer is correct because during a solar ecliphse there are spring tides and i dont know if they are the same.
