Question

You are playing a role-playing video game that is very realistic. In it, you are on a solo air raid mission during WW1. An enemy aircraft machine guns your engine. Shortly after, your plane begins dropping to the ground with constant acceleration of -4.7 m/s^2, regardless of inertia. You remember from "Air force training" that if the plane hits the ground with vertical linear momentum greater than 36,000kg m/s (magnitude), it would be destroyed, and so would your score. You know the airplane has an inertia of 2000kg total, including five 60kg packages in the cockpit. You estimate that you were flying 40 meters above the ground (at vy=0). How many packages, if any, do you need to drop so that the airplane isn't destroyed? Assume that you are able to toss these packages out (if necessary) before the plane begins to fall.

Explanation / Answer

velocity at tiome of hiotting ground v^2 = u^2 +2*a*h v^2 = 0+2*4.7*20 v^2=188 v=13.71 m/s mass*velocity
