AI Thread Summary
To calculate the speed of a packet dropped from an aircraft flying horizontally at 35 m/s from a height of 600 m, one must consider the principles of projectile motion. The initial horizontal velocity of the packet remains constant at 35 m/s, while the vertical motion is influenced by gravity. Using the kinematic equations, the time taken for the packet to fall can be determined, and subsequently, the final vertical speed can be calculated. The resultant speed of the packet upon reaching the ground can be found by combining its horizontal and vertical velocities using vector addition. Understanding these concepts is crucial for accurately solving the problem.

Homework Statement



While the aircraft is flying horizontally at a speed of 35 m s–1 (600m above the ground), a packet is dropped from it.

Calculate the speed of the packet when it reaches the ground (include a vector diagram).

how do i solve this?
 


You know the equations of a parabolic motion?Use H=(u^2sin^2@)/2g to find g,you know H=600 and angle made(@)=90 then find t=(usin@)/g to find t.use v=u+at to find speed,v.It has been long I've done this so you might want to ...
 
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
