Refer to the diagram shown below.
Assume that air resistance is ignored.
Note:
The distance, h, of a falling object with initial vertical velocity of zero at time t is
h = (1/2)gt²
where
g = 9.8 m/s²
The initial vertical velocity of the supplies is 0 m/s.
It the time taken for the supplies to reach the ground is t, then
(50 m) = (1/2)*(9.8 m/s²)*(t s)²
Hence obtain
t² = 50/4.9 = 10.2041
t = 3.1944 s
The horizontal distance traveled at a speed of 100 m/s is
d = (100 m/s)*(3.1944 s) = 319.44 m
Answer: 319.4 m (nearest tenth)
