A rescue plane wants to drop supplies to isolated mountain climbers on a rocky ridge 235 m below. The horizontal velocity of the plane is 250 km/h (69.4 m/s). Rescue plane releases the supplies a horizontal distance of 425 m in advance of the mountain climbers
what is the question?
what is the qeustion?
ITS @#$%^^
To find the time it takes for the supplies to reach the mountain climbers, we can use the horizontal velocity of the plane and the horizontal distance the supplies are released in advance.
The formula to calculate time is:
time = distance / velocity
Given:
Horizontal velocity of the plane (v) = 69.4 m/s
Horizontal distance of supplies release (d) = 425 m
Using the formula, we can calculate the time it takes for the supplies to reach the mountain climbers:
time = 425m / 69.4m/s
≈ 6.12 seconds
Therefore, it takes approximately 6.12 seconds for the supplies to reach the mountain climbers.
