An aeroplane is flying horizontally at a height of 980 m with velocity 100ms-1 drops a food packet . Aperson on the ground is 414m ahead horizontally from the dropping point. At what velocity should he move so that he can catch the food packet

Expert Answer
When the air plane moving with a speed 100 m/s at 980 m height and dropping the food packet,
then it is equivalent for food packet that it is projected with horizontal velocity 100 m/s at 980 m height
above ground. The time taken by food packet to reach ground is calculated using the formula " S = (1/2)gt2 "
becuase initial vertical component of velocity is zero.
Time taken t for the food packet to reach the ground is given by, 980 = (1/2)×9.8×t2 or t = 10√2 s .
In this time, horizontal distance travelled by the food packet is = 10√2×100 = 1414 m.
It is given that the person is at 414 m from dropping point. Hence he has to run a distance of 1000 m in 10√2 seconds.
Hence his speed is 1000/(10√2 ) = 70.71 m/s
