A plane drops a package for delivery. The plane is flying horizontally at a speed of 120\,\dfrac{\text m}{\text s}120sm​120, start fraction, start text, m, end text, divided by, start text, s, end text, end fraction, and the package travels 255\,\text m255m255, start text, m, end text horizontally during the drop. We can ignore air resistance.

A person throws a pumpkin at a horizontal speed of 4.0\,\dfrac{\text m}{\text s}4.0sm​4, point, 0, start fraction, start text, m, end text, divided by, start text, s, end text, end fraction off a cliff. The pumpkin travels 9.5\,\text m9.5m9, point, 5, start text, m, end text horizontally before it hits the ground. We can ignore air resistance.

-27.6 m

A pumpkin is thrown horizontally off of a building at a speed of 2.5\,\dfrac{\text m}{\text s}2.5sm​2, point, 5, start fraction, start text, m, end text, divided by, start text, s, end text, end fraction and travels a horizontal distance of 12\,\text m12m12, start text, m, end text before hitting the ground. We can ignore air resistance.

-47.0 m/s

A volcano erupts and launches a chunk of hot magma horizontally with a speed of 252\,\dfrac{\text m}{\text s}252sm​252, start fraction, start text, m, end text, divided by, start text, s, end text, end fraction. The magma travels a horizontal distance of 1250\,\text m1250m1250, start text, m, end text before it hits the ground. We can ignore air resistance.

-48.6 m/s

A cup slides off a 1.1\,\text m1.1m1, point, 1, start text, m, end text high table with a speed of 1.3\,\dfrac{\text m}{\text s}1.3sm​1, point, 3, start fraction, start text, m, end text, divided by, start text, s, end text, end fraction to the right. We can ignore air resistance. What was the cup's horizontal displacement during the fall?

A drone drops a package on a target from a height of 2.40\,\text m2.40m2, point, 40, start text, m, end text. The drone is traveling horizontally at a speed of 1.50\,\dfrac{\text m}{\text s}1.50sm​1, point, 50, start fraction, start text, m, end text, divided by, start text, s, end text, end fraction. We can ignore air resistance.
