Question

You are in an airplane that flies horizontally with speed 100 km/h when an engine falls off. Ignore air resistance and assume it takes 30 s for the engine to hit the ground. a. Show that the airplane is 4.5 km high. b. Show that the horizontal distance that the aircraft engines moves during its fall is about 833.0 m. c. If the airplane somehow continues to fly as if nothing had happened, where is the engine relative to the airplane at the moment the engine hits the ground?

Step 1

We know that the engine falls for 30 seconds before hitting the ground. We can use the free-fall equation to find the height of the airplane: $h = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$ where $h$ is the height, $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately $9.8 \, m/s^2$), Show more…
