Question

Small-plane pilots regularly compete in \"message drop\" competitions, dropping heavy weights (for which air resistance can be ignored) from their low-flying planes and scoring points for having the weights land close to a target. A plane 60 m above the ground is flying directly toward a target at 48 m/s. Part A At what distance from the target should the pilot drop the weight?

Step 1

Step 1: To find the distance from the target where the pilot should drop the weight, we can use the equation: \[ \Delta x = v_{0x}t + \frac{1}{2}a_xt^2 \] where \( v_{0x} = 48 \, m/s \) (the initial velocity of the plane) \( t \) = time it takes for the weight to Show more…
