4) A supply plane needs to drop a package of supplies to researchers working at a base in Antarctica. The plane is flying 100 m above the ground with a speed of 150 m/s. a) It's a calm day, and we can ignore air resistance. How far short of the target should it drop the package? b) How does this distance change if we drop the package on a windy day, when our airplane has the same speed relative to the ground, but on the way down the package experiences (in addition to gravity) an acceleration of -3.00 m/s 2 in the x-direction?

I solved A to get 451.8 m, I just need help solving Part B.
