Question 4.2
You drop a package from
a plane flying at constant
speed in a straight line.
Dropping a Package
a) quickly lag behind the plane
while falling
b) remain vertically under the
plane while falling

Question 4.3a
From the same height (and
at the same time), one ball
is dropped and another ball
is fired horizontally. Which
one will hit the ground
first?
Question 4.3a
From the same height (and

is dropped and another ball
is fired horizontally. Which
one will hit the ground
first?
hit the ground at the same time. The fact that one is moving
horizontally is irrelevantremember that the x and y motions are
completely independent !!
Follow-up: is that also true if there is air resistance?

Follow-up: which path would it take in outer space?
Summary of Chapter 4
Components of motion in the x- and ydirections can be treated independently
In projectile motion, the acceleration is g
If the launch angle is zero, the initial velocity
has only an x-component
The path followed by a projectile is a
parabola
The range is the horizontal distance the
projectile travels
