4. A plane traveling at 200 m/s drops supplies from 1500 m above the ground. If it reaches
1 answer:
Answer:
3500 m
Explanation:
To find the horizontal displacement of the box of supplies, we just need to analyze its horizontal motion.
The horizontal motion of the box is a uniform motion with constant velocity, since there are no forces acting along this direction. Therefore, the horizontal displacement is given by
where
is the horizontal velocity
t is the time
The horizontal velocity of the supplies is the same as the plane, therefore
So, since the time of flight is
t = 17.5 s
The horizontal displacement is

Explanation:
The gravitational force between two objects is given by
where
G is the gravitational constant
m1 and m2 are the two masses
r is the distance between the two masses
From the formula, we see that the magnitude of the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance: therefore, if the distance is tripled (increased by a factor 3), the magnitude of the force changes by a factor
