6. After discovering that two hikers have been stranded on Devil's Thumb Pass, the Colorado Search and Rescue team sends out a plane with supplies for the hikers. Because the hikers are in an isolated location, the plane has to drop the supplies as it flies overhead (see Figure 1). If the plane is 235 m above the hikers and has a horizontal speed of 200 km/h, how far away from the hikers should the supplies be dropped if they are to land at the hikers' location? Vx0 "Dropped" (Vyo = 0) 235 m

Question

6. After discovering that two hikers have been stranded on Devil's Thumb Pass, the Colorado Search and
Rescue team sends out a plane with supplies for the hikers. Because the hikers are in an isolated location, the
plane has to drop the supplies as it flies overhead (see Figure 1). If the plane is 235 m above the hikers and
has a horizontal speed of 200 km/h, how far away from the hikers should the supplies be dropped if they are
to land at the hikers' location?
