My suitcase!
Context
An airliner from Greece flies to Sudan. The plane suddenly encounters a problem when the baggage compartment opens slightly and drops suitcases. In order to help find the lost suitcases, it will be necessary to model the place where they fell.
Constraints
The plane flies at a known constant speed;
The airplane flies perfectly horizontal;
The aircraft is flying at a known altitude;
The aircraft's position when the baggage began to fall (it is assumed that the aircraft is flying on a straight path identified by the x-axis).
Modelization
Create a model to determine the x position of a suitcase when it hits the ground based on the x position of the plane when the suitcase started falling, the plane's altitude, and the aircraft's flight speed.
Then test your model with the following parameters
Airplane flight speed: 920 km/h.
Aircraft altitude: 5700m.
Aircraft position: 9230m.
