A helicopter flying horizontally with a speed of 360 ~km / h at an altitude of 2 km , drops an object at an instant. The object hits the ground at a point O , 20 s after it is dropped. Displacement of ' O ' from the position of helicopter where the object was released is : (use acceleration due to gravity g =10 ~m / s ^2 and neglect air resistance)
Options
- A2 5 ~km
- B4 km
- C7.2 km
- D2 2 ~km
Correct answer
D. 2 2 ~km
Step-by-step solution
