Why is it illegal to say bomb on a plane?

Because of the irrational fears of terrorism in present day Western-society. Although the chance of actually becoming the victim of a terrorist attack in Western nations is so slim, it's virtually neglible, due to the widespread and sensationalist portrayal by the media. It has now gotten to the point that just the suspicion of anything terrorism related can set of a wave of panic that could have fatal consequences at worst and injuries, lawsuits or big fines at best.

If you would shout "bomb" on an airplane on purpose, any consequences that may arise from it will be at your cost (literally!), such as the costs of diverting an airplane mid-air because of a false bomb threat.

Saying the word "bomb" on a plane can cause panic and disrupt safety protocols. It is considered a serious security threat and is prohibited to prevent any potential harm or chaos onboard. Airlines and authorities take any mention of bombs very seriously to ensure the safety of all passengers.

Yes.

Actually it is. Because the attendants, marshalls, or whoever is in charge at the place you are in might think you have a bomb! You will be checked or sent home.

An aeroplane flying at a constant velocity releases a bomb. As the bomb drops down from the aeroplane what will be the position of the bomb with respect to the plane?

There are two forces on the bomb when it is dropped; horizontal, and vertical. The vertical force is gravity, and the horizontal force is the velocity of the plane when the bomb is dropped. In order to determine how far away the bomb will drop from the initial point of release, it is necessary to know the height that the plane is at, and the velocity of the plane, which is also the initial horizontal velocity of the bomb (it is constant, neglecting air resistence.)
