Which freezes faster, hot water or cold water?

Arescue plane flying horizontally at spots a survivor in the ocean directly below and releases an emergency kit with a parachute. because of the shape of the parachute, it experiences insignificant horizontal air resistance. if the kit descends with a constant vertical acceleration of, how far away from the survivor will it hit the waves?

What are two different ways you could find the value of a? explain these methods.

At a certain instant after jumping from the airplane a, a skydiver b is in the position shown and has reached a terminal (constant) speed vb = 52 m/s. the airplane has the same constant speed va = 52 m/s, and after a period of level flight is just beginning to follow the circular path shown of radius ρa = 2330 m. (a) determine the velocity and acceleration of the airplane relative to the skydiver. (b) determine the time rate of change of the speed vr of the airplane and the radius of curvature ρr of its path, both as observed by the nonrotating skydiver.
