Answer:
S = 11488.42 m
Explanation:
Given,
The speed of the jet, v = 0.74 Mach
= 253.82 m/s
The altitude of the jet, h = 10000 m
Since the jet is travelling horizontally, the vertical component of velocity Vy = 0
The equation for a projectile projected from a height h is given by,
S = Vx [Vy + √(Vy² +2gh)] / g
Since Vy = 0
S = Vx √(Vy² +2gh) / g
= 253.82 x √(2 x 9.8 x 10000) / 9.8
= 11488.42 m
Hence, the humanitarian aid package should be delivered ahead of distance, S = 11488.42 m
