A cargo plane is flying horizontally at an altitude of 11.7 km with a constant speed of 900 km/hr when a large crate slides out of the rear of the plane.

(a) How long does it take the crate to hit the ground? The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . Answer in units of s.

(b) What is the horizontal distance of the crate from the point it fell off to the point where it hits the ground? Answer in units of km.

(c) How far is the crate from the aircraft when the crate hits the ground, assuming that the plane continues to fly with constant velocity? Answer in units of km.

A rescue plane flies horizontally at a constant speed searching for a disabled boat. When the plane is directly above the boat, the boat's crew blows a loud horn. By the time the plane's sound detector receives the horn's sound, the plane has traveled a distance equal to one-third its altitude above the ocean. Assuming it takes the sound 2.02 s to reach the plane, and taking the speed of sound to be 343 m/s, determine the following. (a) the...
