Asked by Maria
You're in an airplane that flies horizontally with speed 830km/h (230m/s ) when an engine falls off. Neglecting air resistance, assume it takes 35s for the engine to hit the ground.
Find the height of airplane.
Find the horizontal distance that the aircraft engine falls.

t = time of free fall = 35 s
Horizontal distance
= horizontal speed × duration of free fall
For the vertical component of free fall,
Vyi=initial vertical velocity = 0
a=vertical acceleration = -g = -9.8 m/s²
ΔY = vertical position change
ΔY = Vyi(t)+(1/2)at²
Substitute numerical values to calculate required distances.
