Question

A helicopter 8.50 m above the ground and descending at 3.50 m/s drops a package from rest (relative to the helicopter). Just as it hits the ground, find (a) the velocity of the package relative to the helicopter and (b) the velocity of the helicopter relative to the package. The package falls freely.

Step 1

8\) m/s\(^2\) (acceleration due to gravity) \(s = 8.5\) m (height of the helicopter above the ground) Plugging in the values, we get: \[v^2 = 0 + 2(9.8)(8.5)\] \[v^2 = 0 + 2(9.8)(8.5)\] \[v^2 = 0 + 2(9.8)(8.5)\] \[v^2 = 0 + 2(9.8)(8.5)\] \[v^2 = 0 + Show more…
