A plane flying horizontally at a speed of 40.0 m/s and at an elevation of 160 m drops a package. Two seconds later it drops a second package. How far apart will the two packages land on the ground?

Package 1 will land at 228.0 m, package 2 will land at 308.0 m, and the distance between them is 80.0 m.

Explanation:

To find the distance at which the first package will land we need to calculate the time:

Where:

Y(f) is the final position = 0

Y(0) is the initial position = 160 m

V(0y) is initial speed in "y" direction = 0

g is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²

t is the time=?                                          

Now we can find the distance of the first package:

Then, after 2 seconds the distance traveled by plane is (from the initial position):

Now, the distance of the second package is:

The distance between the packages is:

Therefore, package 1 will land at 228.0 m, package 2 will land at 308.0 m and the distance between them is 80.0 m.
