    =1419.19 meters.

    Explanation:

    The time it takes for the shell to drop to the tanker from the height, H = 1/2gt²

    610m=1/2*9.8*t²

    t² = (610m*2) / 9.8m/s²

    t²=124.49s²

    t=11.16 s

    Therefore, it takes 11.16 seconds for a free fall from a height of 610m

    Range = Initial velocity*time taken to hit the tanker.

    R=v₁t

    Lets change 300 mph to kph.

    =300*1.60934 = 482.802 kph

    Relative velocity=482.802 kph-25 kph

    =457.802 kph

    Lets change 11.16 seconds to hours.

    =11.16 / (3600)

    =0.0031 hours.

    R=v₁t

    =457.802 kph * 0.0031 hours.

    =1.41918 km

    =1.41919 km * 1000m/km

    =1419.19 meters.
