Apackage falls off a truck that is moving at 30 m/s. neglecting air resistance, the horizontal speed of the package just before it hits the ground is: ) less than 30 m/s but larger than zero. b) more than 30 m/s. c) about 30 m/s. d) zero. e) more information is needed for an estimate.

Option C is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A package falls off a truck that is moving at 30 m/s.

Initial horizontal velocity of package = 30 m/s

For a dropping object acceleration along vertical direction is acceleration due to gravity and acceleration along horizontal direction is zero.

Since acceleration along horizontal direction is zero horizontal velocity remains the same. It will not change.

So he horizontal speed of the package just before it hits the ground is 30 m/s.

Option C is the correct answer.

Iread this book last year so take this with a grain of salt.gene jumps from the tree to compete with finny due to the fact that gene is always trying to do better than finny. he is put under the grasp of peer pressure due to finny almost forcing him to do this. ever since he first jumped finny kept pressuring him to jump since he thought gene enjoyed jumping.rather than uses this answer you should probably just reread chapters 3-4

Tons?
