Jse the worked example above to help you solve this problem. An Alaskan rescue plane drops a package of emergency rations to stranded hikers, as shown in the figure. The plane is traveling horizontally at 45.0 m/s at a height of 1.40 x 104 m above the ground. (a) Where does the package strike the ground relative to the point at which it was released? 241 (b) What are the horizontal and vertical components of the velocity of the package just before it hits the ground? horizontal 45 m/s 52.3832 vertical The response you submitted has the wrong sign. m/s (c) Find the angle of the impact. 49 The response you submitted has the wrong sign.°
At a long distance shooting match, a bullet is fired with a muzzle velocity of 3000 feet per second from a rifle held in the horizontal position. When fired the sights of the rifle was dead center of a target. The bullet strikes the target at 4.00 ft below the center of the target. How long (in seconds) did it take for the bullet to reach the target? How far away (in unit of yards) was the target? Neglect any air resistance to the bullet. Make a simple sketch. Make a list of all given values, units, and the variables they represent. write the general form of the equation you are going to use. Insert the known values and solve.
