An airplane is flying 1200 m above the ground at a speed of 200 m/s. It drops a package carrying vaccines for a local community that hits the ground after
traveling a horizontal distance of 3130 m.

As the third plane comes by to make the drop, it has a catastrophic engine failure and the pilot has to eject, throwing him straight up from the plane. Assuming that he undergoes free-fall acceleration until he lands describe what would happen to how far the pilot travels(in relation to 3130 m) and briefly explain your answer.

Air is held within a frictionless piston-cylinder container, which is oriented vertically. the mass of the piston is 0.45 kg and the cross-sectional area is 0.0030 m2. initially (state 1) the pressure of the gas is sufficient to support the weight of the piston as well as the force exerted by the atmospheric pressure ( 101.32 kpa). the volume occupied by the air within the cylinder in state 1 is 1.00 liter. one end of a spring (with spring constant k = 1000 n/m) is attached to the top of the piston, while the other end of the spring is attached to a stage that can move vertically. initially the spring is undeflected and therefore exerts no force. then the stage is then moved quasistatically downward a distance of 10.0 cm, at which point the system reaches state 2. the piston-cylinder is not insulated; rather it remains in diathermal contact with the surroundings, which are at a constant temperature of 300 k. what is the change of pressure within the container?
