Question

bomb is dropped from an aero plane when it is at a height h directly above a target. If the aero plane is moving horizontally at a speed v, the distance by which the bomb will miss the target is given by

Solution

Correct option is

 

The time taken by the bomb to hit the ground is given by (as shown above)

                         

Now, the horizontal speed of the aeroplane (and also of the bomb) is v.

∴                 Horizontal range = horizontal velocity × t
