3. A rescue plane drops a package to a stranded party of explorers. The plane is traveling horizontally at a velocity of 100.0 m/s at a height of 50.0 m above the ground.
a. How long will it take for the package to hit the ground?

Hi there!

For this part, we can disregard the horizontal velocity because horizontal and vertical motion are INDEPENDENT.

We can used the simplified equation to solve for time:

Where:

h = height

g = acceleration due to gravity (assume g = 10 m/s²)

Plug in given values:

t ≈3.162 sec

hi there!

out of the two, (b) precision would be more reasonable.   however, both a and b could be pretty reasonable.

the answer would most likely be c, because if it's a comical piece of information, it may likely not be true, if it's a site that allows anybody to edit the content, it could mean a five year old is typing the info, and if it's a tv show produced by a celeb, it may have a biased opinion.
