Question

An airplane carrying out parcel drop releases a parcel while travelling at a steady speed of 90 m/s at an altitude of 200 m. Calculate (a) the taken between the parcel leaving the airplane and it striking the ground. (b) the horizontal distance travelled by the parcel in this time. (c) the speed at which the parcel strikes the ground.

Step 1

To find the time taken for the parcel to hit the ground, we use the formula for the motion of objects under gravity, which is \(y = v_{0y}t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2\), where \(y\) is the vertical displacement (in this case, 200 m), \(v_{0y}\) is the initial vertical Show more…
