Question: Small-plane pilots regularly compete in "message drop" competitions, dropping heavy weights (for which air resistance can be ignored) from their low-flying planes and scoring points for having the weights land close to a target. A plane 55m above the ground is flying directly toward a target at 48m/s.
Question 1: At what distance from the target should the pilot drop the weight?
I need tutor help the solve the above question and express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
