Since the plane is traveling at 100m/s horizontal to the surface of the earth, the crate will always have this horizontal velocity (neglecting air resistance) until it hits the ground. So the answer is 100m/s. Note the vertical speed continues to change as the crate accelerates downward toward earth (again neglecting air effects)
Answer:
Water > Box of books > Stone > Ball
Explanation:
We'll begin by calculating the potential energy of each object. This can be obtained as follow:
For stone:
Mass (m) = 15 Kg
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²
Height (h) = 3 m
Potential energy (PE) =?
PE = mgh
PE = 15 × 10 × 3
PE = 450 J
For water:
Mass (m) = 10 Kg
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²
Height (h) = 9 m
Potential energy (PE) =?
PE = mgh
PE = 10 × 10 × 9
PE = 900 J
For ball:
Mass (m) = 1 Kg
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²
Height (h) = 20 m
Potential energy (PE) =?
PE = mgh
PE = 1 × 10 × 20
PE = 200 J
For box of books:
Mass (m) = 25 Kg
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²
Height (h) = 2 m
Potential energy (PE) =?
PE = mgh
PE = 25 × 10 × 2
PE = 500 J
Summary:
Object >>>>>>>> Potential energy
Stone >>>>>>>>> 450 J
Water >>>>>>>>> 900 J
Ball >>>>>>>>>>> 200 J
Box of books >>> 500 J
Arranging from greatest to least, we have:
Object >>>>>>>> Potential energy
Water >>>>>>>>> 900 J
Box of books >>> 500 J
Stone >>>>>>>>> 450 J
Ball >>>>>>>>>>> 200 J
Water > Box of books > Stone > Ball
Answer:
Explanation: We have seasons because Earth's axis – the imaginary line that goes through the Earth and around which the Earth spins — is tilted. It's tilted about 23.5 degrees relative to our plane of orbit (the ecliptic) around the Sun. As we orbit our Sun, our axis always points to the same fixed location in space. Our northern axis points almost directly toward Polaris, the North Star.
