An aeroplane moving horizontally at a speed of 200 m/s and at a height of \(8.0 \times 10^{3}\) m is to drop a bomb on a target. At what horizontal distance from the target should the bomb be released
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Horizontal distance travelled by the bomb \(S = u \times t\)
\(= 200 \times \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}} = 200 \times \sqrt{\frac{2 \times 8 \times 10^{3}}{9.8}}\) = 8.081 km
