| Determine the flight altitude of the aircraft if the dropped load at the moment of impact on the ground had a speed of 1080 km / h.
Task data: V (the speed of the dropped load at the moment of impact on the ground) = 1080 km / h (in the SI system V = 300 m / s).
Constants: g (acceleration of gravity, acceleration of a dropped load) ≈ 10 m / s2.
The flight altitude of the aircraft can be determined using the formula: S = (V ^ 2 – V0 ^ 2) / 2a = (V ^ 2 – 0 ^ 2) / 2g.
Let’s make a calculation: S = 300 ^ 2 / (2 * 10) = 4.5 * 103 m (4.5 km).
Answer: The plane flew at an altitude of 4.5 km when dropping the cargo.
