$A$ fighter plane, flying horizontally with a speed of $360 \text{ km/h}$ at an altitude of $500 \text{ m}$, drops a bomb for a target straight ahead of it on the ground. At what approximate distance ahead of the target should the bomb be dropped? Assume that acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$. Neglect air drag.

  • A
    $1000 \text{ m}$
  • B
    $50 \sqrt{5} \text{ m}$
  • C
    $500 \sqrt{5} \text{ m}$
  • D
    $866 \text{ m}$
