A pilot flying low and slow drops a weight; it takes 2.8 s to hit the ground, during which it travels a horizontal distance of 100 m . Now the pilot does a run at the same height but twice the speed. How much time does it take the weight to hit the ground? How far does it travel before it lands?

Answer 1

Since the h is the same, the Fall time is the same: t2 = t1 = 2.8 s.

d = 2 * 100 = 200 m.
