A plane is flying horizontally with a constant speed of 55 .0 m/s when it drops a rescue capsule. The capsule lands on the ground 12.0 s later.

c) How would your answer to part b) iii change if the constant speed of the plane is
increased? Explain.

therefore horizontal displacement changes increasing with linear velocity

Explanation:

Since the plane flies horizontally, the only speed that exists is

              v₀ₓ = 55.0 m / s

the time is the time it takes to reach the floor, which we can find because the speed on the vertical axis is zero

               y =y₀ + v₀ t - ½ g t2

               0 = I₀ + 0 - ½ g t2

               t = √ 2y₀o / g

time is that we use to calculate the x-axis displacement

 The distance it travels to reach the floor is

              x = v t

              x = 55 12

              x = 660 m

When the speed horizontally the time remains the same and 120

             x ’= v’ 12

therefore horizontal displacement changes increasing with linear velocity
