Question

A small airplane loses a bolt while traveling at a speed of 150.0 meters/second in the horizontal direction. The bolt follows a parabolic path and lands on the ground after 25 seconds. How far will the bolt have traveled horizontally from the point where it left the plane until it lands on the ground?

Answer 1

3,750

Answer 2

Ignoring air resistance, the fall has no effect on its horizontal speed. Traveling horizontally at 150 m/s for 25 seconds, it'll cover
(25) x (150m) = 3,750 meters
(about 2.3 miles)
