Question
- In the above problem, it took 10 seconds for the object to fall on the ground from the initial location where it was traveling East through the earth’s atmosphere at 20.0 km/s while at the same time falling down under the influence of earth’s gravity at a rate of 15 km/s.
What is the velocity in the vertical and horizontal directions just before it hits the ground, assuming the acceleration in the horizontal was zero?
How high was the object from the ground at the initial location?
