Problem 30. problems-1/kinematics-pr-bombing-run-trajectory.tex R- A forest fire is burning. A forest service plane flying horizontally at a height H above the ground is about to release a water bomb with initial horizontal velocity voĉ at just the right instant so that it will freely fall with the right trajectory to hit the fire and put it out. Neglect drag forces and answer the following questions in terms of the givens H and vo and physical constants you know such as g. a) How long will it take for the bomb to reach the ground? b) What should the angle 8 of the line that leads directly from the fire to the plane as shown be at the instant of release if the bomber wishes to hit the fire? (Note that this line is not the trajectory of the water bomb, which is the curved line above it.) c) What is the speed of the the bomb when it hits the fire?
