A flare is dropped from a plane flying over level ground at avelocity of 70 m/s in the horizontal direction. At the instant theflare is released, the plane begins to accelerate horizontally at0.75 m/s2. The flare takes 4.0 s to reach the ground. Assume airresistance is negligible. Relative to a spot directly under theflare at release, where does the flare land?
___directly on the spot.
___6.0 m in front of the spot.
___274 m in front of the spot.
___280 m in front of the spot.
___286 m in front of the spot.

3>The diagram below shows a student throwing a baseballhorizontally at 25 meters per second from a cliff 45 meters abovethe level ground. Approximately how far from the base of the cliffdoes the ball hit the ground? Neglect air resistance. Use g = 9.8m/s2

A helicopter is flying in a straight line over a level field at aconstant speed of 6.6 m/s and at a constant altitude of 9.9 m. Apackage is ejected horizontally from the helicopter with an initialvelocity of 14.0 m/s relative to the helicopter, and in a directionopposite the helicopter's motion.


1) Find the initial velocity of the package relative to theground.


2) What is the horizontal distance between the helicopter and thepackage at the instant the package strikes the ground?


3) What angle does the velocity vector of the package make with theground at the instant before impact, as seen from the ground?

As preparation for this problem, review Conceptual Example 10. The drawing shows two planes each about to drop an empty fuel tank. At the moment of release each plane has the same speed of 125 m/s, and each tank is at the same height of 1.00 km above the ground. Although the speeds are the same, the velocities are different at the instant of release, because one plane is flying at an angle of 15.0° above the horizontal and the other is flying at an angle of 15.0° below the horizontal. Find the magnitude and direction of the velocity with which the fuel tank hits the ground if it is from plane A. Give the directional angles with respect to the horizontal.
