Homework Statement
A plane flies horizontally @ 299 m/s relative to ground.
Altitude: 3450m, level terrain; neglect air resistance.
1: How far from the point vertically under the point of release does the object land (in meters)?
2: At what angle must the bomb be released so that it hits the target at time of release (in °)?
Homework Equations
t = (sqrt(Voy^2 + 2gh) - Voy) / -g
Range = Vox(t)
The Attempt at a Solution
Using the above, I correctly figured 7933.83 m for the range. It's the angle part that's screwing me.
Now, because the y-component of that object's velocity is zero at release, I was able to answer #1 without breaking anything down. But I have not a clue as to how to find that damn angle.
