A rescue plane wants to drop
supplies to isolated mountain climbers on a rocky ridge 235 m
below. The plane is traveling horizontally with a speed of 265 km/h
(b) Suppose, instead, that the plane releases the supplies a horizontal distance of 425 m in advance of the mountain climbers. What vertical velocity (up or down) should the supplies be given so that they arrive precisely at the climbers' position (Fig. 3-41 b)? (Horizontal velocity is the same as in part (a)).
Magnitude 2 m/s
(c) With what speed (magnitude of impact velocity) do the supplies land in the latter case?
