The B-17 Flying Fortress was a bomber aircraft used by the US Army Air Force during World War II. A B-17 flies over level ground at a speed of 126 m/s
(with respect to the ground) and maintains an altitude of 2.97 km above the ground when it releases a single bomb.
Find the horizontal distance (in m) the bomb travels from
the point of release to the point where it hits its target at
ground level. Ignore the effects of air resistance.
(a)
m
If the B-17 maintains a constant course, altitude, and
speed while the bomb is falling, where will it be when
the bomb hits the target?
(b)
behind the bomb
directly above the bomb
ahead of the bomb
(6 Bombardiers in these aircraft used telescopic bombsight
that allowed them to calculate the time of release. If the
bombsight was directly viewing the target at the instant the
bomb was released, what was the angle (in degrees)
between the vertical (directly downward) and the viewing
direction of the bombsight?
from vertical

An object is launched with a speed of 14 m/s off the roof of a building that is 80 m high so that it hits the ground at the maximum possible distance from the base of the building. Determine the magnitude of the object's average velocity from when it is released to when it hits the ground. (a) 12.14 m/s (d) 27.14 m/s (b) 17.14 m/s (e) 32.14 m/s (c) 22.14 m/s (f) None of the above.
A certain airplane has a speed of 303.3 km/h and is diving at an angle of 0= 26.0° below the horizontal when the pilot releases a radar decoy (see the figure). The horizontal distance between the release point and the point where the decoy strikes the ground is d = 676 m. (a) How long is the decoy in the air? (b) How high was the release point? (a) Number i 8.9 Units S (b) Number i -716.6 Units m
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)
An airplane needs to drop a package of supplies to a team in a remote location (landing is not possible). The plane is flying 112.8 m above the ground at a speed of 196.8 m/s. We know that the plane should NOT drop the package when it is passing directly over the location. Instead, the plane needs to drop the supplies BEFORE it reaches the location. How far out (in meters) should the supplies be dropped? (in other words, how far horiszontally will the package go as it falls?) Ignore air resistance.
With what speed must an object be projected vertically upwards for it to reach a maximum height of 12.0 m above is starting point?

(b) How far (in m) from the basket (measured in the horizontal direction) must he start his jump to reach his maximum height at the same time as he reaches the basket?
Acertain airplane has a speed of 297.6 km/h and is diving at an angle of 0 = 33.0° below the horizontal when the pilot releases a radar decoy (see the figure).
