An Alaskan rescue plane traveling 36 m/s

Question

drops a package of emergency rations from
a height of 137 m to a stranded party of
explorers.Where does the package strike the ground relative to the point directly below where it was released

Answer 1

To find out, multiply the time to fall a distance H by the plane's velocity.

X = V*t

t = sqrt(2H/g)

H = 137 m.

Solve for X
