Question
A small glider is coasting horizontally when suddenly a very heavy
piece of cargo falls out of the bottom of the plane. You can neglect
air resistance. Just after the cargo has fallen out
O both the cargo and the plane speed up.
the plane speeds up but the cargo does not change speed.
None of these
the plane speeds up and the cargo slows down.
the cargo slows down but the plane does not change speed
neither the cargo nor the plane change speed.
