Physics Uncovered on Instagram: "When you drop a rock from a fast-moving plane, it doesn’t fall straight down — it keeps the plane’s forward speed. This is inertia in action. Gravity pulls the rock downward, but its horizontal motion continues, creating a curved path as it falls. That’s why the drop point has to be ahead of the target, not directly above it. Pilots and physicists use this same principle to calculate real-world trajectories, from supply drops to spacecraft landings. It’s a perfec
