Position of package when dropped from plane

[katie_alsteen]

Homework Statement

A plane is flying horizontally with speed 148 m/s at a height 4510 m above the ground, when a package is dropped from the plane. The acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2. Neglecting air resistance, when the package hits the ground, the plane will be... ahead, directly above, or behind the package?

Homework Equations

v^2 = vi^2 + .5ax

The Attempt at a Solution

I tried to break it into x and y components, and solve for x in the horizontal direction, but I am really confused. Please help.

What is the initial velocity of the package in the y-direction?
How much time the packet takes to reach the ground?
