During a recent winter storm, bales of hay had to be dropped from an airplane to a herd of cattle below. Assume the airplane flew horizontally at an altitude of 211 m with a constant velocity of 47.0m / s and dropped one bale of hay every 4.0 seconds. It is reasonable to assume that air resistance will be negligible for this situation. About how far apart from each other will the bales land on the ground?
During a recent winter storm, bales of hay had to be dropped from an airplane to a herd
of cattle below. Assume the airplane flew horizontally at an altitude of 193 m with a
constant velocity of 47.0 m/s and dropped one bale of hay every 3.0 seconds. It is
reasonable to assume that air resistance will be negligible for this situation.
About how far apart from each other will the bales land on the ground?
