During a recent winter storm, bales of hay had to be dropped from an airplane to a herd of cattle below. Assume the airplane flew horizontally at an altitude of 222 m. with a constant velocity of 44.0m/s and dropped one bale of hay every 3.0 seconds. It is reasonable to assume that air resistance will be negligible for this situation. About how far apart from each other will the bales land on the ground? Answer in m (rounded to the nearest whole number)

Question

During a recent winter storm, bales of hay had to be dropped from an airplane to a herd of cattle below.
Assume the airplane flew horizontally at an altitude of 222 m. with a constant velocity of 44.0m/s and
dropped one bale of hay every 3.0 seconds. It is reasonable to assume that air resistance will be negligible for
this situation. About how far apart from each other will the bales land on the ground? Answer in m (rounded
to the nearest whole number)
