Suppose that you're flying an airplane to deliver a package of food and supplies to people on the ground. They have prepared a target area where it is safe to land the package (which is padded so it can withstand the impact without damage). You are flying parallel to the ground at height h = 210 m and constant speed v = 99 m/s. How far will the package travel horizontally between the moment you release it from the plane and when it hits the ground? (In other words, how far ahead of the target do you need to release the package in order to hit the target?) Assume you can ignore air resistance, and use g = 9.8 m/s2 in the downward direction. Give your answer in meters (but you don't need to label the units in your answer - just enter the number of meters).
