Homework Statement
A plane flying at a speed of 275 m/s at an altitude of 3000 m drops a package. The plane doesn't change its direction or speed and there is no wind resistance.
a) Where does the package hit the ground relative to the point of release?
b) Where does the package hit the ground relative to the moving airplane?
Homework Equations
R = sqrt A2 + B2
The Attempt at a Solution
a. Well I know that it would land directly under it because there is no wind resistance. But I don't know how to come up with that answer.
b. I did
R = 2752 +30002 and took the square root.
I came up with 3,013m.
