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?
"Given: Speed= 40.6m/s
Time= 2s
As speed=distance/time
Therefore distance= speed×time
Distance= 40.6×2= 81.2m
That means the bales will land 81.2m apart.
It is given that air resistance is neglected, if the air resistance is to be given then their is variation in the answer because then we have to consider all the factors like air resistance , gravity.
