A pocket is dropped from an aeroplane when it is directly above a point X on the ground and hits the ground at Y. If the aeroplane is moving horizontally with a speed of 600 km/h, 1, 000m above the ground , find the distance XY.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of finding the distance XY, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the speed of the airplane from km/h to m/s The speed of the airplane is given as 600 km/h. To convert this to meters per second (m/s), we use the conversion factor: \[ \text{Speed in m/s} = \text{Speed in km/h} \times \frac{1000 \text{ m}}{3600 \text{ s}} \] Calculating this gives: ...
