In this game, he planeyou are flying is traveling horizontally at 40.0 m/s at an altitudeof 125m when it drops a bomb. What direction is the bomb moving just before it hits thetarget?

Explanation / Answer

Altitude h = 125 m

Time taken to reach the ground t = [ 2h / g ]

Where g = 9.8 m / s ^ 2

Plug the values we get t = 5.05 s

Horizontal velocity v = 40 m / s

Vertical component of velocity just before it hits thetarget v ‘ = gt

    v ‘ = 49.49 m / s

Horizontal component of the velocity just before it hits thetarget v “ = v
