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? Due to ignoring air resistance, g = 9.8 m/s2 in the downward direction.

A basketball player is standing on the floor 10.0 m from the basket as in Figure P3.47. The height of the basket is 3.05 m, and he shoots the ball at a 40.0 angle with the horizontal from a height of 2.00 m. (a) What is the acceleration of the basketball at the highest point in its trajectory? (b) At what speed must the player throw the basketball so that the ball goes through the hoop without striking the backboard?
A World War II bomber flies horizontally over level terrain with a speed of 275 m/s relative to the ground and at an altitude of 3.00 km. The bombardier releases one bomb. (a) How far does the bomb travel horizontally between its release and its impact on the ground? Ignore the effects of air resistance. (b) The pilot maintains the planes original course, altitude, and speed through a storm of flak. Where is the plane when the bomb hits the ground? (c) The bomb hits the target seen in the telescopic bombsight at the moment of the bombs release. At what angle from the vertical was the bombsight set?
A golfer hits his approach shot at an angle of 50.0, giving the ball an initial speed of 38.2 m/s (Fig. P4.60). The ball lands on the elevated green, 5.50 m above the initial position near the hole, and stops immediately. a. How much time passed while the ball was in the air? b. How far did the ball travel horizontally before landing? c. What was the peak height reached by the ball? FIGURE P4.60
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. You are flying parallel to the ground at height of 210 m and constant speed which is 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? Assume you can ignore air resistance, and use g = 9.8 m/s2 in the downward direction.

You were hiding in a tree 5 m above the ground when you spotted a rabbit on the ground. You took a pebble and shot it with your sling shot. You missed. You estimated you were aiming downward at -50 degrees (i.e. below horizontal) with an initial speed of 5.0 m/s. How far did the pebble land horizontally away from you?
An airplane is delivering relief supplies to the flood victims in Cagayan. It flies 100 m above the ground at a speed of 160 m/s. How far horizontally from the drop point should the supplies be dropped? How long will the supplies be in the air?
From the top of a cliff overlooking a lake, a person throws two stones, as shown in the drawing. The cliff is 33.7 m high. The two stones described have identical initial speeds of v0 = 13.9 m/s and are thrown at an angle θ = 21.0 °, one below the horizontal and one above the horizontal. What is the distance between the points where the stones strike the water? Neglect air resistance. I do not know where to start
An airplane releases a ball as it flies parallel to the ground at a height of ℎ=275 mh=275 m as shown in the figure. If the ball lands on the ground a horizontal distance equal to the height ℎh from the release point, calculate the speed ?v of the plane. Neglect any effects due to air resistance, and use ?=9.81 m/s2g=9.81 m/s2 for the acceleration due to gravity.
