u were not moving?

Hmmm...maybe it would be because since you're staying still then things appear to go by quickly.

A plane flying horizontally above earth’s surface at 100. meters per second drops a crate. the crate strikes the ground 30.0 sec

Lena [83]

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)

When a rocket is traveling toward a mountain at 100 m/s, the sound waves from this rocket's engine approach the mountain at spee

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The correct option is C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The initial speed of the rocket is $v_i = 100 m/s$

The speed of the rocket engine sound is $V$

The final speed of the rocket is $v_f = 200 \ m/s$

The speed of the sound at $v_f$ would still remain V this because the speed of sound wave is constant and is not dependent on the speed of the observer(The mountain ) or the speed of the source (The rocket ).

A clear example when lightning strikes you will first see (that is because it travels at the speed of light which is greater than the speed of sound) but it would take some time before you hear the sound of the lightning

Here we see that the speed of the lightning(speed of sound) does not affect the speed of the sound it generates
