A package is released from a plane which is flying horizontally over flat horizontal ground. After release the package has an initial velocity which is the same as the plane. When the package is released, the plane is a height H above the ground and the speed of the plane is V. If we ignore air resistance, which statement is correct about the time interval between when the package is released and when it hits the ground? It depends only on H and not on V. It does not depend on either H or V. It depends only on V and not on H. It depends on both H and V.
Displacement, Velocity and Acceleration
In classical mechanics, kinematics deals with the motion of a particle. It deals only with the position, velocity, acceleration, and displacement of a particle. It has no concern about the source of motion.
Linear Displacement
The term "displacement" refers to when something shifts away from its original "location," and "linear" refers to a straight line. As a result, “Linear Displacement” can be described as the movement of an object in a straight line along a single axis, for example, from side to side or up and down. Non-contact sensors such as LVDTs and other linear location sensors can calculate linear displacement. Non-contact sensors such as LVDTs and other linear location sensors can calculate linear displacement. Linear displacement is usually measured in millimeters or inches and may be positive or negative.
After release the package has an initial velocity which is the same as the plane.
When the package is released, the plane is a height H above the ground and the speed of the plane is V.
