a helicopter is carrying relief goods in an isolated island. however, the pilot need to drop the package since there are no landing area in that place. the helicopter slows down at a constant velocity of 40 m/s he dropped the package which landed 30 m away from the dropping point and the altitude is 10 m. Solve for the time of flight it took for the package to hit the ground. Solve for the range. Did the package land exactly at the dropping point?
