Question

You're in an airplane that flies horizontally with a speed of 1000 km/h (290 m/s) when an engine falls off. Neglecting air resistance, assume it takes 35 s for the engine to hit the ground. Find the height of the airplane and the horizontal distance that the aircraft engine falls. 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 can use the equation: h = 1/2 * g * t^2 where h is the height, g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s^2), and t is the time it takes for the engine to hit the ground (35 s). Plugging in the values, we get: h = 1/2 * 9.8 m/s^2 * (35 Show more…
