1. A rescue pilot has to drop a package of emergency
supplies so that it lands as close as possible to a
downed aircraft. If the rescue plane travels with a
velocity of 81 m/s and is flying 125 m above the
downed craft, how far away (horizontally) from
the downed craft must the rescue pilot drop his
package? (Assume negligible air resistance.)
