Question
At time t =
0, a package is released from an airplane
12)
flying horizontally at a height of 500.0 m above the ground with a
constant speed of 100.0 m/s. Five seconds later, another package is
released.
9=100.0 m/s
a) When does the first package hit the ground?
b) What is the velocity vector of the first package just before it
hits the ground?
c) What is the position vector of the second package at the
instant the first one hits the ground?
h=500.0 m
d) How far away are the packages when both hit the ground?
ground
Answers: a) t = 10.1 s, b) i = (100î – 98.99ĵ) m/s, c) ř, =
(1010î + 372.6j) m, d) Ax
= 500m
