Question

An airplane with a speed of 84.8 m/s is climbing upward at an angle of 60.7 ° with respect to the horizontal. When the plane's altitude is 625 m, the pilot releases a package. (a) Calculate the distance along the ground, measured from a point directly beneath the point of release, to where the package hits the earth. (b) Relative to the ground, determine the angle of the velocity vector of the package just before impact.

a) 883.95 m is correct.
b) 46.0791 degrees is incorrect. 72.684 degrees is incorrect. 63.25 degrees is incorrect.
