Question 693637
Problem "Airplane",falling down at 600mph vertically, from 29000ft in the sky
:
Convert 600 mph to ft/sec, (3600 sec in 1 hr)
{{{(600*5280)/3600}}} = 880 ft/sec
:
Find the time to travel 29000 ft at this speed; (time = dist/speed)
{{{29000/880}}} ~ 33 seconds, just long enough to realize what's going on, scary!
