Abomber flies horizontally with a speed of 323 m/s relative to the ground. the altitude of the bomber is 3580 m and the terrain is level. neglect the effects of air resistance. the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . how far from the point vertically under the point of release does a bomb hit the ground? answer in units of m.

8730.63 m

Explanation:

Given

Bomber velocity relative to ground

Altitude of the bomber

Range of bomb when bomb when it is released is given by

where

Horizontal velocity of bomber is equal to bomb horizontal velocity

time taken by to cover 3580 m

Therefore range of bomb is

Therefore bomber must release the bomb at a horizontal distance of 8730.63 m before the hit point

0.19 m/s and 0.45 m/s
