A plane is flying horizontally with speed
215 m/s at a height 2770 m above the ground, when a package is dropped from the plane. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. Neglecting air resistance, when the package hits the ground, the plane will be _________.
Can anyone explain why the answer is directly above the package? Thanks.

The plane is traveling at 215 m/s horizontally. The package is traveling at 215 m/s horizontally. The package is falls directly under plane until the package hits the ground and it's horizontal speed is slowed.
