An animal-rescue plane flying due east at 49 m/s drops a bale of hay from an altitude of 66 m . the acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s 2 . if the bale of hay weighs 160 n , what is the momentum of the bale the moment it strikes the ground? answer in units of kg m/s. at what angle of inclination will the bale strike?

Explanation:

The final velocity of the bale have vertical and horizontal components. So, we have:

According to conservation of energy:

Since the plane is flying due east, we have . Replacing in (1):

Now, we calculate the momentum of the bale:

From pythagoras theorem we know that:

report!

explanation:

physics means: "the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. the subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms."
