Homework Statement
A cargo plane is flying horizontally at an altitude of 11.5 km with a speed of 860 km/h when a large crate falls out of the rear loading ramp. (Ignore any effects due to air resistance.)
(a) How long does it take the crate to hit the ground?
Homework Equations
y=y+v(sub y)(t)+1/2a(sub y)(t)^2
v(sub y)=v(initial)(sin58)
The Attempt at a Solution
I attempted these equations but since the initial speed of the crate is the same as the plane and there is no angle, I cannot find the y value of velocity, in order to find the time it took to hit the ground.
