Question

An airplane is flying 1200 m above the ground at a speed of 200 m/s. It drops a practice bomb that hits the ground after traveling a horizontal distance of 3130m.

For each of the changes below, use the choices below to identify what will happen to the horizontal distance the bomb travels while falling compared to the situation above.

  • The horizontal distance will be greater than 3130m
  • The horizontal distance will be less than 3130 m but not zero
  • The horizontal distance will be equal to 3130m
  • The horizontal distance will be zero (the bomb will drop straight down).
  • We cannot determine how this change will affect the horizontal distance.

For each of the following changes, only the feature identified are modified from the given situation above.

  1. The plane’s speed is tripled: _________,

Explain reasoning: ________

  1. The plane is climbing straight up at the release point: _______

Explain reasoning: ________

  1. The plane is flying in level flight at a altitude of 1,100 m: _________,

Explain reasoning: ________

  1. The mass of the bomb is increased: _______

Explain reasoning: ________

  1. The bomb is thrown from the plane with a vertical downward velocity of 15 m/s: _________,

Explain reasoning: ________
