Question

A piano is dropped from a military cargo plane.  The plane is flying at a cruising altitude of 10000m, and begins to plummet. If the piano falls for 12 second, its velocity at this point will be m/s. Ignore air resistance. (Round to the tenths place)

Answer 1

The component of the velocity in the downward direction is

 

gt = 9.8(12) m/s = ? m/s

 

The horizontal component of the velocity is the same as the velocity of the airplane, which was not stated in the question.
