Aplane is flying east when it drops some supplies to a designated target below. the supplies land after falling for 10 seconds. how high above the ground was the airplane when the supplies were dropped? (hint: d = 1/2gt2; g = -9.8 m/s2) 120 meters490 meters980 meters49 meters

solution:

As Given plane is flying in east direction.

It throws back some supplies to designated target.

Time taken by the supply to reach the target =10 seconds

g = Acceleration due to gravity = - 9.8 m/s²[Taken negative as object is falling Downwards]

As we have to find distance from the ground to plane which is given by d.

d =

 = meters

Distance from the ground where supplies has to be land  to plane  =  Option B =490 meters

answer: b.
