Galileo's Martian descendants find that when they release balls down ramps to fly off
tables that the relationship of table height h to the horizontal range of flight and the
launch velocity v is h = 1.5 (3) ²
They determine that releasing the ball from a 0.5-meter high ramp produces a launch
velocity of around 1.9 m/s. What horizontal range before hitting the ground will the
ball cover if launched off a 0.8-meter high table at this speed?
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 cargo plane is moving with a horizontal velocity of v. = +223 m/s at a height of y = 1190 m above level ground as shown in the figure below when it releases a package. Ignoring air resistance, how much time, in seconds, will it take the package to reach the g
