a) how long does it take to fall 132m? If it takes t seconds,
b) the kit lands 68.9t meters away from where it was dropped. No idea how far away from the survivor that happened.
A rescue plane is flying horizontally at a height of 132 m above the ground. The pilot spots a survivor and releases an emergency kit with a parachute. The kit descends at a constant vertical acceleration of -6.89 m/s2 and the initial plane horizontal speed is 68.9 m/s. Assuming air resistance and wind are negligible, how far away from the survivor will the emergency kit hit the ground?
