A) 40 km/hr to the east B B) 100 km/hr to the southeast C) 100 km/hr to the east D) 170 km/hr to the southeast 3. An airplane capable of an airspeed of 100 km/hr is 60 km off the coast above the sea. If the wind is blowing from the coast out to sea at 40 km/hr, what is the least amount of time it will take for the plane to get to shore? A) 26 minutes C) B) 36 minutes C) 60 minutes D) 100 minutes 4. Neglecting air resistance, what is the total velocity of a parachutist just before engaging her parachute, 8 s after dropping from an airplane flying horizontally at 60 m/s? SO of a A) 60 m/s ocity B) 80 m/s D) without C) 100 m/s get ahead D) 140 m/s tist's leration parabola. e theCHAPTER 3 PRACTICE PASSAGE An airplane is susceptible to substantial deflection off course 1.

Neglecting air resista parachutist just befor When a parachutist typically leaves an airplane, it is not so dropping from an air much a jump as a drop. He steps out of a door or lets go of a A) 60 m/s strut under the wing, not giving him any significant velocity B) 80 m/s relative to the airplane. He becomes subject to gravity without C) 100 m/s the lift of the wings. Air resistance allows the plane to get ahead D) 140 m/s of him. If we neglect this drag effect, then the parachutist's constant horizontal velocity and constant vertical acceleration gives him a trajectory resembling half of an inverted parabola This is a reasonable assumption for the free fall before the parachute is engaged.
