I used basic formulas to find the component of the velocity and then later on the magnitude and direction (that was the 3rd question). I just need to make sure that the time I got was right, because otherwise it throws everything off. I used x=x0+v0t+.5at2 since there's no velocity when...

I take that back. I found the net distance by using the pythagorean theorem, and found the angles of the triangle, but I don't know if that's what I even need.

I just calculated the angle by using arctan ...and I think I might get what I need to do! haha

well, I think it's including gravity, but not air resistance. I figured that if I had the distance, I could find the angles, but I'm not sure if I'm either brain dead or can't visualize how to do this.

The problem states that a plane approaching a mountain peak at a speed of 50 m/s is located at a vertical distance of 100.0 m above the peak. I calculated the distance at which the plane should release the package so it lands on the peak (first question), but the second question ask what the...
