A toy helicopter is flying in a straight line at a constant speed of 4.6 m/s. If a projectile is launched vertically with an initial speed of vo = 19 m/s, what horizontal distance d should the helicopter be from the launch site S if the projectile is to be traveling downward when it strikes the helicopter? Assume that the projectile travels only in the vertical direction. 14 m 4.6 m/s Vo S
