An Alaskan rescue plane drops a package of emergency rations to a stranded party of explorers, as illustrated in Figure 3.6. The plane is traveling horizontally at 30.0 m/s at a height of 200.0 m above the ground. a. What horizontal distance does the package fall before landing? b. Find the velocity of the package just before it hits the ground.

the answer is a. at the equator

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
