Question

A package is accidentally dropped from a helicopter moving upward at 20 m/s. If it takes 15 s before the package strikes the ground, (a) how high above the ground was the package when it was released if air resistance is negligible (in meters)? (b) What is the package's velocity (in m/s, make sure to use the right sign) when it strikes the ground?
