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.
False, provided the drop occurs no sooner than the throw, and the ground is flat .
A ball just dropped is an example of free fall, where the only force acting on it is gravity causing it to accelerate downwards at a constant rate of 9.81 m/s^2.
The bullet fired horizontally will hit the ground first, given that it has an initial horizontal velocity that keeps it moving forward from the moment it leaves the gun. On the other hand, the bullet dropped from the end of the barrel only has the force of gravity acting on it, causing it to fall vertically, which is slower than the horizontal motion of the fired bullet.
The rock will have a greater speed when it reaches the ground level compared to the ball thrown horizontally because the rock will be accelerated by gravity as it falls vertically, while the ball thrown horizontally will only have its initial horizontal velocity.
The coin will land straight back down in the same spot from where it was dropped in the bus, assuming the bus is moving at a constant speed in a straight line without any sudden changes in acceleration. This is because the coin is moving with the bus at the same velocity when dropped.
Please describe how you drop something 'horizontally'
somebody dropped a piece of cheese..
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.
It was named the Enola Gay.
True. Both objects, when released from the same height, will experience the same gravitational acceleration regardless of their horizontal motion. Therefore, the object that is dropped will hit the ground at the same time as the object thrown horizontally, assuming no air resistance. However, the dropped object will fall straight down, while the thrown object will travel horizontally as it falls.
It was a B-29 airplane which dropped the atomic bomb over Nagasaki.
it is still hot but lying on the ground! :D
the Enola Gay
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.
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.
393d Bomb Squadron, 509th Composite Group
The first bomb dropped from an airplane during World War I occurred on December 21, 1914. A German pilot, Lieutenant Georg von Hohenzollern, dropped a bomb from a modified aircraft over a target in Antwerp, Belgium. This marked a significant development in aerial warfare, laying the groundwork for future bombing strategies.
