The magnitude of the horizontal component of the crate’s velocity just before it strikes the ground is 100 meters per seconds.
<u>Given the following data:</u>
- Velocity = 100 m/s
- Time = 30.0 seconds.
To determine the magnitude of the horizontal component of the crate’s velocity just before it strikes the ground:
<h3>The horizontal component of velocity.</h3>In Projectile motion, the horizontal component of the velocity represents the influence of velocity in displacing an object (projectile) in the horizontal direction.
Mathematically, the horizontal component of velocity is given by the formula:
In this scenario, there isn't any acceleration in the horizontal direction and as such the net force in this horizontal direction is equal to zero (0) in accordance with Newton's Second Law of Motion.
In conclusion, the plane would experience a constant velocity of 100 m/s.
