A plane is flying at an altitude of 1.2 km with constant velocity of 300 km/h when the pilot drops their hat. (a) Suppose instead the plane was flying at 400 km/h, how would the time it takes the hat to reach the ground change? (b) What path does the hat appear to take from the pilot's perspective? What path does the hat take according to an observer on the ground. Explain your answers and ignore air resistance. (c) Rank the trajectories to the right according to their (i) time in the air, (ii) initial vertical velocity, and (iii) initial veloc- ity.

![Problem 2 Projectile Motion
A plane is flying at an altitude of 1.2 km with constant velocity of 300 km/h when the pilot drops their
hat. (a) Suppose instead the plane was flying at 400 km/h, how would the time it takes the hat to reach
the ground change? (b) What path does the hat appear to take from the pilot's perspective? What path
does the hat take according to an observer on the ground. Explain your answers and ignore air resistance.
(c) Rank the trajectories to the right according to their (i) time
in the air, (ii) initial vertical velocity, and (iii) initial veloc-
ity.
