A rescue plane flying horizontally at 72.6 m/s spots a survivor in the ocean 182 m directly below and releases an emergency kit with a parachute. Because of the shape of the parachute, it experiences insignificant horizontal air resistance. If the kit descends with a constant vertical acceleration of 5.82 m/s^2, how far away from the survivor will it hit the waves?

Expert Solution

Step 1

$G i v e n u_{x} = 72.6 m / s u_{y} = 0 h = 182 m a_{x} = 0 a_{y} = 5.82 m / s^{2}$
