A stunt pilot flying horizontally at an altitude of 4,000ft with a speed of 180mph drops a weighted marker, attempting to hit a target on the ground below. How far away from the target (measure horizontally) should the pilot be when she releases the marker? (You may neglect air resistance)

This is physics.  See time it takes for an object to drop 4000ft by gravity.  That will be your time you plug in to the horizontal distance equation:$$vt=x$$
