You're in an airplane that flies horizontally with speed 940 km/hkm/h (260 m/sm/s) when an engine falls off. Neglecting air resistance, assume it takes 28 ss for the engine to hit the ground. Find the height of airplane. H= Find the horizontal distance that the aircraft engine falls. d= If the airplane somehow continues to fly as if nothing had happened, what is the distance between the engine and the airplane at the moment the engine hits the ground? d=
In the Marvel comic series X-Men, Colossus would sometimes throw Wolverine toward an enemy in what was called a fastball special. Suppose Colossus throws Wolverine at an angle of 0 = 23.0° with respect to the ground (see figure below). Wolverine is d = 2.14 m above the ground when he is released, and he leaves Colossus's hands with a speed of v; = 22.6 m/s. d (a) Using conservation of energy and the components of the initial velocity, find the maximum height attained by Wolverine during the flight. m (b) Using conservation of energy, what is Wolverine's speed the instant before he hits the ground? m/s

You built a pinball machine that has a banked circular track with radius 0.34 m. The ball shooter launches the ball directly into this circular track before the ball enters into the game. You fire pin balls at a constant speed into the track and adjust the banking angle until it works. The banking angle is 21 degrees. Assume your pin ball machine is on a horizontal plane, how fast is the ball launched into the track, in m/s? Hint: I have a video on this problem about swing pendulum but the results are very similar, except a string length was given instead of path radius and tension was present instead of normal force. Assume friction is negligible.
A ball is suspended from a light 1.3 m string . The string makes an angle of 24 degrees with the vertical. The ball is then kicked up and to the right such that the string remains taut the entire time the ball swings upwards. This kick gives the ball an initial velocity of 1.1m/s. What will be the speed, in meters per second, of the ball when it reaches its lowest point (θ = 0)? What will be the maximum angle, in degrees, the string will make with the vertical?

Use g = 10.0 m/s2.
A package is released from a plane which is flying horizontally over flat horizontal ground.After release the package has an initial velocity which is the same as the plane.When the package is released, the plane is a height H above the ground and the speed of the plane is V.If we ignore air resistance, which statement is correct about the time interval between when the package is released and when it hits the ground? It depends only on H and not on V. It does not depend on either H or V. It depends only on V and not on H. It depends on both H and V. -
