A helicopter is flying horizontally at an altitude of 2 km with a speed of $100\ ms^{- 1}$. A packet is dropped from it. The horizontal distance between the point where the packet is dropped and the point where it hits the ground is $(g = 10\ ms^{- 2})$

(a) $t = \sqrt{\frac{2 	imes 2000}{10}} = \sqrt{400} = 20\ s$
$x = 100ms^{- 1} 	imes 20s = 2000\ m = 2km$
