A plane drops a supply crate from an altitude of 8500 m, trying to hit a landing target. The plane's horizontal speed is 483 km/hr. Assume air resistance is negligible.
How long will it take for the crate to fall from the plane to the ground?

neither accurate nor precise.

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
