You take a round trip from New York City to Los Angeles. On the outbound plane flight to LA, the plane flies into a 49 mi/hr mi/h headwind. On the return trip to NYC, the wind velocity is unchanged. The trip back to New York City takes 53 minutes minutes less than the trip out to LA. What was the airspeed of this plane, assuming it flew at a constant airspeed out and back?

Packages are dropped at regular intervals from a low-flying plane to the level ground below. The plane is flying at a height of 183 m with a constant speed of 40.6 m/s and the packages are being dropped at a rate of one package every two seconds. Air resistance may be ignored. How far apart from each other will the bales land?

Packages are dropped at regular intervals from a low-flying plane to the level ground below. The plane is flying at a height of 200 m with a constant speed of 40 m/s and the packages are being dropped at a rate of one package every two seconds. Air resistance may be ignored. As the packages are falling through the air their distance of separation will A. decrease. B. increase. C. remain constant. D. depend on the mass of the packages.

A plane is dropping supplies to a raft adrift on the ocean. Just before the plane drops the package, it dives at an angle of 25 degrees (relative to the horizontal). The package's inital velocity is also declined by 25 degrees. The plane is at an altitude of h=300m and if flying at a constant speed of v=90m/s when the package is dropped. There is a strong current that is pushing the raft at a constant rate with v_raft =...

A drill is used to spin a wheel that begins from rest for two seconds. Then while the wheel is still spinning, it is placed on the ground at the bottom of a hill. The idea is to find out how far up the hill the wheel will go. The drill exerts a force of 15-Nm, we'll assume that there is NO energy lost due to friction or air resistance. The wheel in question will be treated as a solid...

1) a) A block of mass m slides down an inclined plane starting from rest. If the surface is inclined an angle theta above the horizontal, and the block reaches a speed V after covering a distance D along the incline, what is the coefficient of kinetic friction? b) at a distance D1 (still on the incline), the block comes to an instantaneous standstill against a spring with spring constant k. How far back up does the block? Why do...

4. A pilot flying from Honolulu to California flies at an airspeed of 300.0 m/s (“airspeed” = airplane’s speed through the surrounding air) with her airplane pointed 70.0˚ to the east of north. However, the air itself is moving with a 50.0-m/s windspeed blowing due east. When the pilot adds together the two vectors of her airspeed and the windspeed, she gets her groundspeed: the airplane’s actual velocity relative to the ground below. (Even though these are called “speeds” by...
