After a package is dropped from the plane, how long will it take for it to reach sea level from the time it is dropped? Assume that the package, like the plane, has an initial velocity of 472 km/hour in the horizontal direction.

Step 1
The time it takes for the package to reach sea level depends on the height from which it is dropped. Second, we need to know if there is any resistance (like air resistance) acting on the package. If there is, it will slow down the package's descent, and it will Show more…

After a package is dropped from the plane, how long will it take for it to reach sea level from the time it is dropped? Assume that the package, like the plane, has an initial velocity of 422 km/hour in the horizontal direction. If the package is to land right on the island, at what horizontal distance D from the plane to the island should the package be released? What is the speed vf of the package when it hits the ground? If the package is to land right on the island, at what horizontal distance D from the plane to the island should the package be released? What is the speed vf of the package when it hits the ground?
