Aplane is flying horizontally with speed 167 m/s at a height 4040 m above the ground, when a package is dropped from the plane. the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . neglecting air resistance, when the package hits the ground, the plane will be:

The plane will be 4795.23 meters from where he threw the package.

Explanation:

Data:

v = 167 m/s

h = 4040 m

g = 9.8m/s²

package:

after it is dropped there is no horizontal force, so...

t =  I

in the vertical we have only

but Vo = 0 because the package is dropped

 II

replacing I in II

X - Xo = 4795.23

The distance from where the plane drops the package and where it hits the ground is the same as the plane flies horizontally, as there is no acceleration at x.
