A rescue plane flying horizontally at 72.6 m/s spots a survivor in the ocean 182 m directly below and releases an emergency kit with a parachute. Because of the shape of the parachute, it experiences insignificant horizontal air resistance
If the kit descends with a constant vertical acceleration of 5.82 m/s2, how far away from the survivor will it hit the waves? A) 574 m
B) 4.54 km
C) 406 m
D) 602 m
