55.
The airplane to the right, moving in a clockwise circular path, drops a package at point A.   Where on the ground does the package hit?
        
When the package is released, the centripetal force applied to the package by the airplane disappears.  The velocity of the package at this time is tangential to the path of the airplane.  This lands the package at point C.

The Correct Answer is C.
