Person on the airplane: Crate will appear to be dropping straight down. Person on the ground: Crate will be curving in the direction the plane is moving.

How many meters will a bomb which is dropped from an airplane fall in the tenth second after it is released?
one
A bullet is fired horizontally out of a gun at the same time another is dropped from the end of the barrelthe one to hit the ground first is?
Both hit at the same time.
Why an arrow shot horizontally and an arrow dropped straight down from the same height will hit the ground at the same time?
yes because they have the same gravitational potential
Does horizontal speed affect gravity?
No. That's why a bullet shot horizontally from a gun and a bullet dropped from the muzzle of the gun at the same time both hit the ground at the same time.
If a rock is dropped and a ball is thrown horizontally at the same initial elevation Which will have the greater speed when it reaches ground level?
at what q from the horizontal should be threw a rock so that it has greatest range
2 balls dropped horizontally and vertically.Which ball strikes ground first why?
Please describe how you drop something 'horizontally'
How were cheeseburgers invented?
somebody dropped a piece of cheese..
A tennis ball is dropped from the ceiling of an airplane that is cruising at a constant velocity of 400 milehour would look like what to someone looking from outside the plane?
If the person outside the plane managed to move along with the plane, at 400 mph, the ball would appear to fall vertically. At lower speeds, the plane and ball would be in sight for a short period of time and the ball would appear to move horizontally with the plane.
Was the nickname of the airplane that dropped the first atomic bomb?
It was named the Enola Gay.

Is bockscar a plane?
It was a B-29 airplane which dropped the atomic bomb over Nagasaki.
What happens when an hot object is dropped by somebody?
it is still hot but lying on the ground! :D
What does gravity do to the path of an object that is thrown horiziontally?
It doesn't matter whether the object is thrown down, up, horizontally, or diagonally. Once it leaves the thrower's hand, it is accelerated downward by an amount equal to acceleration of gravity on the planet where this is all happening. On Earth, if you throw an object horizontally, it accelerates downward at the rate of 9.8 meters per second2 ... just as it would if you simply dropped it. Whether it's dropped or thrown horizontally, it hits the ground at the same time.
What was the name of the airplane that dropped the first atomic bomb during world war 2?
the Enola Gay
Will a bullet travel the same distance straight up that it would horizontally?
No. The horizontal distance depends on how close the the ground the gun is. From the firing position, a bullet dropped to the ground will strike the ground in the same time as a bullet shot horizontally forward.
The airplane bockscar that dropped the atomic bomb on nagisaki was in what squadron?
393d Bomb Squadron, 509th Composite Group
Does mass affect how far a paper airplane can fly?
No. Acceleration due to gravity is constant. That's why a hollow lead ball dropped from a height will strike at the same time as solid lead ball of equal dimensions. Whats important is the shape of the glider and the air resistance that it can generate. In a vacuum both would fall at an equal rate.
