An airplane flying horizontally at a constant speed of 337 km/h over level groun

Question

An airplane flying horizontally at a constant speed of 337 km/h over level ground releases a bundle of food supplies. Ignore the effect of the air on the bundle. (a) What is the bundle's initial vertical component of velocity? _________ km/h (b) What is the bundle's initial horizontal component of velocity? __________ km/h (c) What is its horizontal component of velocity just before hitting the ground? ____________ km/h(d) If the airplane's speed were, instead, 437 km/h, would the time of fall be larger, smaller, or the same? smaller the same larger cannot tell from data given

Explanation / Answer

(a) Here the bundle of supplies are launched horizontally, so its initial vertical component of the velocity is zero.

(b) The horizontal component of velocity is 337 km/h

(c) Its horizontal component of velocity just before hitting the ground is 337 km/h

(d) Remains same
