Question

i have a physics question an airplane is flying horizontally at a velocity of 50 m/s at an altitude of 125m. It drops a package to observes on the grown below. Approximately how far will the package travel in horizontal direction from the point it was dropped?

Answer 1

Draw its vector components. So on the x-axis you have a velocity ( without accounting for anything like air resistance, etc...) and you have acceleration on the y axis, you can use pythagorean theorem afterwards when you solved for your vectors^^

Answer 2

but it gave me velocity though and the altitude how will i find the other sides

Answer 3

velocity on the x-axis so it will look like this ( sorry for the bad drawing)
