A stunt pilot is attempting to drop a water balloon from a moving airplane onto a target on the ground. The plane moves at a speed of 79.4 m/s and a 47° above the horizontal when the balloon is released. At the point of release, the plane is at an altitude of 560 m. Air Resistance is negligible Answer all parts to 3 significant figures.
(a) How far horizontally, measured from a point directly below
the plane's initial position, will the balloon travel before
striking the ground?
983 m
(b) At the point just before balloon strikes the ground, what angle
does its velocity make with the horizontal? Give your answer as an
angle measured below the horizontal.
