Question

TestHub · Accepted Answer

The aeroplane imparts v velocity to the food packet horizontally when dropping. Horizontal range of food packet = v × 2 h g Also, Horizontal distance, travelled by aeroplane = v × 2 h g thus, vertical distance between aeroplane and person = h distance = 2 v 2 h g + h 2
