Part 1: An Alaskan rescue plane traveling 42 m/s drops a package of emergency rations from a height of 181 m to a stranded party of explorers. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s². Where does the package strike the ground relative to the point directly below where it was released? Answer in units of m. Part 2: What is the horizontal component of the velocity just before it hits?
Answer in units of m/s.

Part 3: What is the vertical component of the velocity just before it hits? (Choose upward as the positive vertical direction) Answer in units of m/s.

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.

this would be about 43%
