Question: A stunt pilot is attempting to drop a water balloon from a moving airplane onto a target on the ground. The plane moves at a speed of 84.6 m/s and a 43° above the horizontal when the balloon is released. At the point of release, the plane is at an altitude of 620 m.

Part A: How far horizontally, measured from a point directly below the plane's initial position, will the balloon travel before striking the ground?

Part B: At the point just before balloon strikes the ground, what angle does its velocity make with the horizontal? Give your answer as an angle measured below the horizontal.
