Answer 1

x = 13552.6 m

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a projectile throwing exercise

Let's start by looking for the time it takes for the pump to reach the ground y = 0

y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

as the plane flies horizontally the vertical speed is zero

0 = y₀ + 0 - ½ g t²

t =
`√(2y_o/g)`

t =
`√(2 \ 10000/9.8)`

t = 45.175 s

with this time we can find the distance it travels horizontally

x = v₀ₓ t

x = 300 45,175

x = 13552.6 m

the bomb must be dropped at this distance before hitting the target
