3. The pilot of a rescue plane intends to drop a box of food to a group of stranded hikers on the ground
along the path of the flight. The plane is flying at an altitude of 200 m above the ground with a constant
speed of 500 m/s.
(a) How far in advance (horizontal distance) should the package be dropped in order to reach the hikers
on point?
(b) What will be the horizontal and vertical velocities of the packet at the point it reaches the ground?
(c) If the plane maintained its path and speed after dropping the package, at what location relative to the
hikers will the plane be when the package reaches ground? Explain.
