An airphore releases a parcel while movirg at a horizontal speed of \( 90 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1} \) at an altitude of \( 250 \mathrm{~m} \), Calculate (i) the time between the parcel leaving the aiplane and it striking the ground, (ii) the horizonctal distance travelled by the parcel in this tine.

An airplane carrying out parcel drop releases a parcel while travelling at a steady speed of 90 m/s at an altitude of 200 m. Calculate (a) the taken between the parcel leaving the airplane and it striking the ground. (b) the horizontal distance travelled by the parcel in this time. (c) the speed at which the parcel strikes the ground.

A delivery drone drops a well-cushioned package from a height of $12.5 \mathrm{~m}$ onto a customer's porch. (a) At what speed does the package hit the porch? and (b) how long is it in the air?
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.
