Your Ultimate Guide to JEE & NEET Question Solutions

An aeroplane is moving with horizontal velocity $u$ at height $h$. The velocity of a packet dropped from it on the earth's surface will be ($g$ is acceleration due to gravity)

A

$\sqrt {{u^2} + 2gh} $

B

$\sqrt {2gh} $

C

$2gh$

D

$\sqrt {{u^2} - 2gh} $
An aeroplane is moving with horizontal velocity $u$ at height $h$. The velocity of a packet dropped from it on the earth's surface will be ($g$ is acceleration due to gravity)
Horizontal velocity of dropped packet $ = u$
Vertical velocity $ = \sqrt {2gh} $
$\therefore $ Resultant velocity at earth $ = \sqrt {{u^2} + 2gh} $
