Question

A box of medical supplies is dropped from a plane flying horizontally at an altitude of 725 m. The plane is moving at 450 mph. There is a drop zone that the box must land on for the drop to be successful. (Ignore air resistance. 1 mile = 1609 m) a) How long will the box be in the air? b) How far (horizontally) from the drop zone should the box be released from the plane in order to hit the drop zone? c) If the box HAD to be dropped when the plane was (horizontally) 5 km from the drop zone for safety reasons, how fast would the plane need to fly when releasing the box?
