Question

what would be the distance a bomb traveled in the X direction if it fell out of an airplane at 25,000 meters high and was traveling 50 meters per second.

Answer 1

The bomb will land at approximately 3.5 Km

Step-by-step explanation:

Horizontal Motion

The bomb is thrown horizontally by an airplane with a speed v=50 m/s from a height h=25,000. The range or maximum horizontal distance traveled by the object can be calculated as follows:

`\displaystyle d=v\cdot\sqrt{\frac {2h}{g}}`

`\displaystyle d=50\cdot\sqrt{\frac {2*25,000}{9.8}}`

`\displaystyle d=3,571.43\ m`

The bomb will land at approximately 3.5 Km
