The bomber
An aircraft flying at an altitude of 1260 m. From what distance in front of the target must a parachute load be dropped from an airplane? The load slopes at a speed of 5.6 m/s and moves in the direction of movement at 12 m/s. What is the direct distance of the aircraft from the target? (Calculate the fall time first).

The line slope calculator is helpful for basic calculations in analytic geometry. The coordinates of two points in the plane calculate slope, normal and parametric line equation(s), slope, directional angle, direction vector, the length of the segment, intersections of the coordinate axes, etc.
Our vector sum calculator can add two vectors given by their magnitudes and by included angle.
