* Create a diagram describing the horizontal and vertical motion of the payload in order to reach the drop site, and then use your understanding of kinematic equations to describe how these changes would affect calculations for the payload.

Due to historical difficulty in delivering supplies by plane, one of your colleagues has suggested you develop a catapult for slinging supplies to affected areas, similar to the electromagnetic lift catapults used to launch planes from aircraft carriers. This catapult is located at a fixed point 400 meters away and 50 meters below the target site 2458.04 meters. The catapult is capable of launching the payload at 67 meters per second and an initial launch angle of 50 degrees. Using your knowledge of kinematics equations, determine whether this would be sufficient to deliver the payload to the drop site.

Once completed diagram and equations, describe the effects of changing variables on kinematic equations. These descriptions should reflect the different motions and considerations made for the modifications you considered in the previous step.

* How did the changing variables affect the vertical and horizontal motion of the payload?

* What adjustments to delivery would need to be made to account for these changing variables?
