Question

Two persons $P$ and $Q$ are flying in a helicopter horizontally at a constant speed. All of a sudden, $P$ falls down. During the fall of $P$, at any instant, $Q$ locates $P$:

• A. Down, at an angle (acute) to the front of vertical
• B. Whose position depends upon the speed of the helicopter
  
• C. Down at an angle (acute) to the rear of vertical
  
• D. Vertically down

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Vertically down

Horizontal components of persons $P$ and $Q$ velocities are equal.
So $Q$ views $P$ to be falling vertically downwards.
Final Answer: (a)
