An animal-rescue plane flying due east at
30 m/s drops a bale of hay from an altitude of
65 m .
The acceleration due to gravity is
9.81 m/s^2
If the bale of hay weighs 182 N , what is the
momentum of the bale the moment it strikes
the ground?
Answer in units of kg m/s.
I've already found the momentum of the bale and the Vf
Momentum-662.39
Vf- 35.67
All I need now is what angle of inclination the bale will strike the ground at.
If the x- and y-components of v are vx and vy, then it hits with an angle θ, where
tanθ = vy/vx
