Small-plane pilots regularly compete in "message drop" competitions, dropping heavy weights (for which air resistance can be ign
iren [92.7K]

plane is flying at an altitude of 70 m

now if an object is dropped from it then time taken by object to drop on ground will be given as

y = v_i* t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

here initial speed in vertical direction must be zero as plane is moving horizontal

given that

y = 70 m

a = 9.8 m/s^2

70 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}*9.8*t^2

t = 3.77 s

now since the plane is moving horizontally with speed v = 44 m/s

so the horizontal distance moved by the object will be

d = v_x * t

d = 44 * 3.77

d = 166.3 m

so the distance moved by the box is 166.3 m

How do human population growth trends differ between developed nations and developing nations?
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Replacement-Level Fertility

Another important population characteristic that differ btw develop nation and developing nations is relates to births is replacement-level fertility. Replacement-level fertility is the fertility rate that will result in the replacement of the parents in the population. Again, in an ideal world, the human replacement-level fertility rate would be exactly two. This would mean that each couple would produce two offspring that would replace them in the population. If this occurred, then the human population would stay at a stable rate
