Question

PART ONE: An Alaskan rescue plane traveling 43 m/s drops a package of emergency rations from a height of 150 m to a stranded party of explorers. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s Where does the package strike the ground relative to the point directly below where it was released? Answer in units of m. PART TWO: What is the horizontal component of the velocity just before it hits? Answer in units of m/s PART THREE: What is the vertical component of the velocity just before it hits? (Choose upward as the positive vertical direction) Answer in units of m/s.

An Alaskan rescue plane traveling 48 m/s drops a package of emergency rations from a height of 165 m to a stranded party of explorers. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. Where does the package strike the ground relative to the point directly below where it was released? Answer in units of m. What is the horizontal component of the velocity just before it hits? Answer in units of m/s.

'Alaskan rescue plane drops a package of emergency rations to stranded hikers. The plane is traveling horizontally at 40.0 m/s at a height of 100 m above the ground: Neglect air resistance: (a) Where does the package strike the ground relative to the point at which it was released? (b) What are the horizontal and vertical components of the velocity of the package just before it hits the ground? (c) What is the angle of the impact?'

00:01 All right, so let's say we have a rescue plane like this, and it's traveling with the speed of 43 meters a second, and it drops a package from a height of, let's see, 150 meters.
00:17 And so we want to know what is the horizontal distance the package travels for part a, or i guess part one.
00:27 So delta x here is just going to be the speed that it leaves the plane, which is the speed of the plane, time.
00:33 The time it's in the air.
00:35 So this will be v times the square root of 2h over g, where 2h over g is our time intervals.
00:41 So 300 divided by 9 .8, take the square root, multiplied by 43.
00:46 This should be 237 .9 meters...
