A rescue airplane is diving at an angle of 37o below the horizontal with a speed of 250 m/s. It releases a survival package when it is at an altitude of 600 m. If air resistance is ignored, the horizontal distance of the point of impact from the plane at the moment of the package's release is

796.2 m.

Explanation:

A sketch of the given question forms a right angled triangle with two given sides and a non included angle. Applying the appropriate trigonometric function, we have;

Tan θ =

Let the horizontal distance required be represented by x, so that;

Tan =

0.7536 =

⇒ x =

      = 796.1783

x = 796.2 m

Thus, the horizontal distance of the point of impact is 796.2 m.

jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, having a mass and radius that are respectively, 318 and 11.2 times that of earth. suppose that an object falls from rest near the surface of each planet and that the acceleration due to gravity remains constant during the fall. each object falls the same distance before striking the ground. determine the ratio of the time of fall on jupiter to that on earth.

the inner core.

good luck: )
