Question

An aeroplane is flying horizontally with a velocity of 216 km h^(-1) and at a height of 1960 m. When it is vertically above a point A on the ground, a bomb is released from it. The bomb strikes the ground at point B. The distance AB is (ignoring air resistance) (given g=9.8 m s^(-2))

MARKS Content Team · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: (A) 1200 m. Horizontal velocity of aeroplane, in m/s u=(216 ×1000)/(60 ×100)=60 m s^(-1) Time of flight, T=(√2h)/g=√(2 ×19609.8)=20 s Horizontal range, AB=uT =60 ×20=1200 m

An aeroplane is flying horizontally with a velocity of $216 k m h^{- 1}$ and at a height of 1960 m. When it is vertically above a point A on the ground, a bomb is released from it. The bomb strikes the ground at point B. The distance AB is (ignoring air resistance) (given $g = 9 .8 m s^{- 2}$ )
