A food packet is dropped from a plane 
flying horizontally. 
a) Sketch the path of the falling food packet. 
b) If the time taken by the packet to reach the earth’s surface is ‘6’ seconds, calculate the       height from which the packet is dropped. (Take g = 10m/s2) 

Dear student


a) Path of the particle is a parabola whose graph is as shown in the figureb) Displacement along vertical direction is Sy=uyt+12ayt2h=0×t+12×10×62h=5×36=180m
