Question

An aero plane moving horizontally at 150 m/s release a bomb at a height 500m. The bomb hits the intended target. What was the horizontal distance of the aero plane form the largest when the bomb was released?

Answer 1

Answer on Question 49947, Physics, Mechanics — Kinematics — Dynamics — An aero plane moving horizontally at 150 m/s release a bomb at a height 500m. The bomb hits the intended target. What was the horizontal distance of the aero plane form the largest when the bomb was released?

Solution

Time of fall is

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot 500}{9.8}}\approx 10\,s$

Horizontal distance traveled during this time is

$s=vt=150\cdot 10=1500\,m$

So, answer is 1500 meters.
