An airplane is flying at a speed of 200 m/s in level flight at an altitude of 800 m. A package is to be dropped from the airplane to land on a target on the ground. At what horizontal distance away from the target should the package be released so that it lands on the target

The

Explanation:

The horizontal distance covered is known as the range expressed as;

R = U√2H/g

U is the speed = 200m/s

H is the max height = 800m

g is the gravity = 9.8m/s²

R = 200√2(800)/9.8

R = 200√1600/9.8

R = 200√163.27

R = 200(12.78)

R = 2555.54

Hence the package should be released at a distance of 2555.54m
