Your grandfather is copilot of a bomber, flying horizontally over level terrain, with a speed of 275

Question:

Your grandfather is copilot of a bomber, flying horizontally over level terrain, with a speed of 275 m/s relative to the ground, at an altitude of 3 000 m.
(a) The bombardier releases one bomb. How far will it travel horizontally between its release and its impact on the ground? Neglect the effects of air resistance.
(b) Firing from the people on the ground suddenly incapacitates the bombardier before he can call, “Bombs away!” Consequently, the pilot maintains the plane’s original course, altitude, and speed through a storm of flak. Where will the plane be when the bomb hits the ground?
(c) The plane has a telescopic bomb sight set so that the bomb hits the target seen in the sight at the time of release. At what angle from the vertical was the bomb sight set?
