At sea rescue: A helicopter traveling 1001 m above the ocean at 125 km/h is going to drop a box of supplies to shipwrecked victims below. a) Sketch the trajectory of the box. b). How many seconds before the plane is directly overhead should the box be dropped? c). What is the horizontal distance between the plane and the victims when the box is dropped?

Kayla throws a soccer ball out of her dorm window to Hafsa, who is waiting below to catch it. Kayla throws the ball at an angle of 40° below horizontal with a speed of 1.2 m/s, and Hafsa catches it 2.4 s later. How far from the base of the dorm does Hafsa stand to catch the ball, in meters? Use g = 10.0 m/s2. Your answer needs to have 2 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.

A plane is moving horizontally at a constant speed of 1000 kilometers/hour and at a fixed height of 450 meters. The pilot then spotted the target below, and then launch a missile to hit a target on the ground. The question is (assuming that the target is exactly 450 meters below the plane), what is the angle that is needed for the missile to hit the target and the speed of the missile when it barely touches the target?
