Answer:

The range, S = 6307.82 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The horizontal velocity of the bomber, Vx = 800 ft/s

The altitude of the bomber, h = 1000 ft

The range of the projectile is given by the relation

S = Vx [Vy +√(Vy² + 2gh] / g

If the vertical component of the velocity is zero, the equation becomes

S = Vx √(2gh) / g

Substituting the given values,

S = 800 √(2X 32.17 X 1000) / 32.17

= 6307.82 ft

Hence, the bomb falls at a distance, S = 6307.82 ft
