Question

A relief airplane is delivering a food package to a group of people stranded on a very small island. The island is too small for the plane to land on, and the only way to deliver the package is by dropping it. The airplane flies horizontally with constant speed of 260 at an altitude of 600 After a package is ejected from the plane, how long will it take for it to reach sea level from the time it is ejected? Assume that the package, like the plane, has an initial velocity of 260 in the horizontal direction

Explanation / Answer

y = 600 y = ut + 0.5 a t^2 600 = ut + 0.5 9.81 t^2 u=0 t = sqrt( 600*2/9.81) = 11.06002527 sec
