A package is dropped from the plane. Four People sitting in the plane make different statements about the package location when it hits the ground. Air resistance can be ignored.

February 15, 2024 by Farooq Haider

Person A: The package will fall behind the plane
Person B: The package remain below the plane until it hit the ground
Person C:The package move ahead of the plane
Person D: The package location will depend on the speed of the plane

image showing answer to A package is dropped from the plane. Four People sitting in the plane make different statements about the package location when it hits the ground. Air resistance can be ignored.

Person B is the only person who has it right. Here’s the breakdown:

  • Person A: Incorrect. While the package initially shares the plane’s horizontal velocity, gravity pulls it vertically. It won’t fall behind but will follow a curved path.
  • Person B: Correct. Ignoring air resistance, the package maintains its horizontal velocity, staying directly below the plane throughout its descent.
  • Person C: Incorrect. As mentioned above, the package won’t move ahead due to gravity pulling it down.
  • Person D: Partially correct. While the plane’s speed affects the overall distance covered horizontally before hitting the ground, it doesn’t influence the location relative to the plane.

Therefore, the three wrong individuals are Person A, C, and D. Their statements miss the crucial factor of gravity affecting the vertical motion, while Person B accurately considers both horizontal and vertical components.
