A stone with a mass m is dropped from an airplane that has a horizontal velocity v at a height h above a lake. If air resistance is neglected, the horizontal distance R from the point on the lake directly below the point of release to the point where the stone strikes the water is given by which formula? A) R = v(2h/g)^2 B) R = (1/2)gt^2 C) R = 2mv squareroot (2h/g) D) R = v squareroot (2h/g) E) None of these is correct.

Answer: Option B. R = (1/2)gt^2

Explanation:

S = R (horizontal distance)

V^2 = 2gS

V^2 = 2gR

R = V^2 / 2g

But V = gt

R = (gt)^2 / 2g

R = (g^2 x t^2) / 2g

R = gt^2 / 2

But t^2 = 2h/g

R = ( g x 2h/g) / 2

R = h

But h = (1/2)gt^2

R = h = (1/2)gt^2
