An airplane is flying at a velocity of 138 m/s and an altitude of 1500 meters when one of its
wheels falls off.
a. how long does it take the wheel to hit the ground?
seconds
b. what is the horizontal velocity of the wheel when it hits the ground?
m/s
c. what is the horizontal distance the wheel will travel before it hits the ground?
sound:
meters

Less force and energy was applied

Ithink the answer is c but then again i'm probably wrong

Simple, don't do it. just don't go to that dock

Since you have not included the experiment situation and the data, of course, i can not give you specific details about it. but i can you with this question.1) i will assume that the motion is projectile (parabolic) motion.2) yes, the horizontal distance depends on the horizontal velocity as, naming vx the horizontal velocity and t the time, it is: x = vx × t3) now, observe that the flight time depends on the vertical velocity as, naming voy the initial vertical velocity, t the time and y the vertical distance before reaching the ground: y = yo + voy×t - gt² / 2.the higher the initial vertical velocity (voy) the longer the object will be flying and so t will be higher in the equation for the horizontal distance.that explains the relationship between the horizontal distance and the horizontal velocity.
