An aeroplane is flying horizontally at a height of `980 m` with velocity `100 ms^(-1)` drops a food packet.A person on the ground is `414 m` ahead horizontally from the dropping point.At what velocity should he move so that he can catch the food packet.

A

`50sqrt(2)ms^(-1)`

B

`(50)/sqrt(2)ms^(-1)`

C

`100ms^(-1)`

D

`200ms^(-1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
a

`T=sqrt((2h)/(g))` is independent of velocity u of the projectile released horizontally.
