An airplane flies horizontally at a speed of 477 km/h and drops a crate that falls to the horizontal ground below. Neglect air resistance. A) If the altitude of the plane was 576 m, then how far, horizontally in meters, did the crate move as it fell to the ground? B) What was the speed of the crate, in m/s, just before it hit the ground?
A plane flying at an altitude of 4000 m at a speed of 200 m/s. At what horizontal distance ahead of its target must a water balloon be released to strike the target on the ground (neglecting air resistance). You must include a SKETCH to solve.
A certain airplane has a speed of 290.0 km/h and is diving at an angle of 30.0° below the horizontal when the pilot releases a radar decoy. The horizontal distance between the release point and the point where the decoy strikes the ground is d 700 m. (a) How long is the decoy in the air? (b) How high was the release point?
An airplane needs to drop a package of supplies to a team in a remote location (landing is not possible). The plane is flying 112.8 m above the ground at a speed of 196.8 m/s. We know that the plane should NOT drop the package when it is passing directly over the location. Instead, the plane needs to drop the supplies BEFORE it reaches the location. How far out (in meters) should the supplies be dropped? (in other words, how far horiszontally will the package go as it falls?) Ignore air resistance.
A swimmer took a running leap off a high-diving platform. The swimmer was running at 2.8 m/s and hit the water 2.6 seconds later. a) How high was the platform, and b) how far from the edge of the platform did the swimmer hit the water? Ignore wind resistance.
A certain airplane has a speed of 276.9 km/h and is diving at an angle of θ = 34.0° below the horizontal when the pilot releases a radar decoy (see the figure). The horizontal distance between the release point and the point where the decoy strikes the ground is d = 800 m. (a) How long is the decoy in the air? (b) How high was the release point?
The B-24 Liberator was a bomber aircraft used by the US Army Air Force during World War II. A B-24 flies over level ground at a speed of 134 m/s (with respect to the ground) and maintains an altitude of 3.15 km above the ground when it releases a single bomb. (a) Find the horizontal distance (in m) the bomb travels from the point of release to the point where it hits its target at ground level. Ignore the effects of air resistance. m (b) If the B-24 maintains a constant course, altitude, and speed while the bomb is falling, where will it be when the bomb hits the target? O behind the bomb O directly above the bomb O ahead of the bomb (c) Bombardiers in these aircraft used telescopic bombsight that allowed them to calculate the time of release. If the bombsight was directly viewing the target at the instant the bomb was released, what was the angle (in degrees) between the vertical (directly downward) and the viewing direction of the bombsight? o from vertical
Acertain airplane has a speed of 297.6 km/h and is diving at an angle of 0 = 33.0° below the horizontal when the pilot releases a radar decoy (see the figure). The horizontal distance between the release point and the point where the decoy strikes the ground is d = 651 m. (a) How long is the decoy in the air? (b) How high was the release point?
In 1939 or 1940, Emanuel Zacchini took his human-cannonball act to an extreme: After being shot from a cannon, he soared over three Ferris wheels and into a net (see the figure). Assume that he is launched with a speed of 26 m/s and at an angle of 50°. (a) Treating him as a particle, calculate his clearance over the first wheel. (b) If he reached maximum height over the middle wheel, by how much did he clear it? (c) How far from the cannon should the net's center have been positioned (neglect air drag)?
