A rescue plane wants to drop supplies to isolated mountain climbers on a rocky ridge 235 m below. The plane is traveling horizontally with a speed of 315 km/h (87.5 m/s).
(a) How far in advance of the recipients (horizontal distance) must the goods be dropped? answer in m
(b) Suppose, instead, that the plane releases the supplies a horizontal distance of 425 m in advance of the mountain climbers. What vertical velocity (up or down) should the supplies be given so that they arrive precisely at the climbers' position?
Magnitude ------ answer in m/s
Direction???
right
down
left
up
(c) With what speed do the supplies land in the latter case? answer in m/s
