An alaskan rescue plane traveling 49 m/s drops a package of emergency rations from a height of 118 m to a stranded party of explorers. the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . where does the package strike the ground relative to the point directly below where it was released?

240.46 m

Explanation:

If the point in x where the package was dropped is x = 0. We can find the value of x where the package ends with the formula:

is the initial velocity, in this case is 49m/s

t is the time it takes for the package to get to the ground, wich we can found with the next formula:

where h is the height: 118 m

and

solving for t:

since the ground is the point where y = 0, we have:

Going back to the first formula for the distance x:

answer: its c lololo

come closer and become far apart and become steam/gas
