Harry falls out of a helicopter traveling 100 m/s. He plunges into a swimming pool 2 seconds later. assuming no air resistance what was the horizontal distance between harry and the swimming pool when he fell out of the helicopter?

A girl throws a slingshot pellet directly at a tarfet that is far enough away to take one hald second to reach. How far below the target does the pellet land and how high should she aim?

the simpler the answer but most descriptive the better
Please help =]

Helicopter problem:

If the copter is moving horizontally at 100 m/s poor Harry move horizontally at the same speed while he falls into the pool. Since he falls for 2 seconds, he must travel

x = v * t = 100 m/s * 2 s = 200 m to reach the pool.

The second problem is stated very poorly (not your fault I'm sure). Do you assume she throws horizontally? It takes 1/2 second to reach at what speed? I can't help much here - sorry.
