Question

From a flying aeroplane a body should be dropped in advance to hit the target,why?

Answer 1

• The body should be dropped from airplane in advance because when the body is dropped it also has the velocity of the plane.
• So in the air it will cover some distance with that velocity in the forward direction
• So, in air the body moves forward which we have to take into consideration in order to hit the target.
• Here the concept of relative velocity is applied.
