    A movie director is shooting a scene that involves dropping a stunt dummy out of an airplane and into a swimming pool. The plane is 10.0 m above the ground, traveling at a velocity of 22.5 m/s in the positive x direction. The director wants to know where in the plane’s path the dummy should be dropped so that it will land in the pool. What is the dummy’s horizontal displacement?

    • 25 m

    • 110 m

    • 50 m

    • 32 m

    Correct Answer
    A. 32 m
  • 7. 

    We went to the catwalk in the PAC, dropped tennis balls and measured the time it took for them to reach the floor (assume the floor is flat, not slanted). If we had thrown the balls horizontally instead of dropping them, they would have taken

    • More time

    • Less time

    • Same amount of time

    Correct Answer
    A. Same amount of time
  • 8. 

    An airplane flies at a constant horizontal speed. The pilot drops a heavy package which falls to the ground. Where, approximately, does the package land relative to the plane's new position? (neglect air resistance)

    • Beneath the plane

    • Behind the plane

    • In front of the plane

    Correct Answer
    A. Beneath the plane
  • 9. 

    Certain iguanas have been observed to run as fast as 10 m/s. Suppose an iguana runs in a straight line at this speed for 5.00 s. The direction of motion makes an angle of 30 degrees to the east of north. Find the value of the iguana's northward displacement.

    • 43.3 m

    • 5 m/s

    • 25 m

    • 8.7 m/s

    Correct Answer
    A. 43.3 m
