I need some serious help, i do not understand this question!!

An Alaskan rescue plane traveling 47 m/s
drops a package of emergency rations from
a height of 179 m to a stranded party of
explorers.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2
Where does the package strike the ground
relative to the point directly below where it
was released?
Answer in units of m.

The position where the package strikes the ground is 136.3m.

Time of motion of the package

Use the following kinematic equation;

h = vt + ¹/₂gt²

179 = 47t  +  ¹/₂(9.8)t²

179 = 47t + 4.9t²

4.9t² + 47t - 179 = 0

solve the quadratic equation using formula method;

a = 4.9, b = 47, c = -179

t = 2.9 seconds

Horizontal distance traveled by the package

X = vt

X = 47m/s x 2.9 s

X = 136.3 m

Thus, the position where the package strikes the ground is 136.3m.
