Scenario
You have recently joined the team at A&L, an engineeringfirm with a broad portfolio. A&L has recently been hired tohelp plan a supply drop following a natural disaster. Due toconditions on the ground, the supply drop will be done from theair. Your supervisor has asked you to use that information, as wellas your knowledge of kinematics, to c.r.e.a.t.e. a. supply dropplan detailing how far the payload should be from the drop sitewhen it is delivered. Additionally, due to adverse conditions inthe area, your supervisor has asked you to prepare for twocontingencies.
Directions
The plane carrying the supplies will be cruising at a constantvelocity of 250 miles per hour relative to the ground and at aheight of 2,650 meters above the target site. Using thisinformation, c.r.e.a.t.e. a. supply drop plan including allrequired information and calculations outlined below. As you arecompleting your supply drop plan, remember that correct SI unitsare a required component of your calculations and descriptions.
Construct a diagram that describes the horizontal and verticalmotion of the payload. Your diagram should visually represent theinitial velocity and height of the payload as it approaches thedrop site. To create the diagrams, you may use drawing tools, oryou may photograph or screenshot a drawing of your own. Thisdiagram should include the following elements: The initial velocityof the payload The initial height of the payload Horizontaldistance to the drop site
Using your understanding of kinematic equations and the givenvariables in the scenario, calculate the horizontal and verticalmotion of the payload to ensure it arrives at the drop site. Inyour calculations, account for both the horizontal and verticalmotion of the payload. Your calculations should address thefollowing: Initial velocity of the payload when launched. Thevelocity of the payload when it hits the ground.
Following your calculations, describe the equations used incalculating the vertical and horizontal motion of an object. Inyour descriptions, address the following: What is the relationshipbetween vertical and horizontal motion in kinematics equations? Howdid you analyze the vertical motion of the payload in yoursolution? How did you analyze the horizontal motion of the payloadin your solution? What other kinematics principles did you considerin analyzing the motion of the payload?
Following your initial calculations, your supervisor has askedyou to consider two additional scenarios. For both scenarios listedbelow, adapt your diagrams and descriptions to respond to changingvariables. C.r.e.a.t.e. a. diagram describing the horizontal andvertical motion of the payload in order to reach the drop site, andthen use your understanding of kinematic equations to describe howthese changes would affect calculations for the payload.
The two additional scenarios are described below:
In order to prepare pilots for changes in condition, you havebeen asked to model supply drops by a plane flying into a headwind.For this scenario, you will choose your own location. Use aresource such as the National Weather Service to select a location.Be sure to name the location and use the wind speed in the area todetermine the headwind for the plane. For this scenario, considerthe plane’s speed and the height above the drop site to be the sameas the first scenario: a speed of 250 miles per hour relative tothe ground and at a height of 2,650 meters above the targetsite.
Due to historical difficulty in delivering supplies by plane,one of your colleagues has suggested you develop a catapult forslinging supplies to affected areas, similar to the electromagneticlift catapults used to launch planes from aircraft carriers. Thiscatapult is located at a fixed point 400 meters away and 50 metersbelow the target site. The catapult is capable of launching thepayload at 67 meters per second and an initial launch angle of 50degrees. Using your knowledge of kinematics equations, determinewhether this would be sufficient to deliver the payload to the dropsite.
Once you have completed your adjusted diagrams and equations,describe the effects of changing variables on kinematic equations.These descriptions should reflect the different motions andconsiderations made for the modifications you considered in theprevious step. In your descriptions, be sure to address thefollowing: How did the changing variables affect the vertical andhorizontal motion of the payload? What adjustments to deliverywould need to be made to account for these changing variables?
What to Submit
To c.o.m.p.l.e.t.e. this project, you must submit the following:Supply Drop Plan Your supply drop plan should include threediagrams depicting the vertical and horizontal motion of an object.Additionally, you should describe the equations used in yourcalculations and provide a written summary of the object’s motionin each scenario. Optionally, you may use the Supply Drop Templateto help plan and organize your work. Supporting Materials Thefollowing resource(s) may help support your work on the project:Reading: Equation Editor Tutorial This tutorial shows you how touse the Microsoft Office Equation Editor, a built-in tool thathelps display mathematical equations inside Microsoft products suchas Word.
