A package is dropped from a helicopter moving upward at 1.5 m/s. If it takes 16.0 s before the package strikes the ground, how high above the ground was the package when it was released if air resistance is negligible?
Added by Jerry Z.
Step 1
Given: Initial velocity of helicopter = 1.5 m/s Since the package is dropped from the helicopter, the initial velocity of the package is also 1.5 m/s in the upward direction. Show more…

A package is dropped from a helicopter moving upward at 15 m/s. If it takes 16.0 s before the package strikes the ground, approximately how high above the ground was the package when it was released if air resistance is negligible? 1500 m 810 m 1200 m 1800 m 1000 m

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?

A helicopter is flying horizontally at $8.0 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ and an altitude of $18 \mathrm{m}$ when a package of emergency medical supplies is ejected horizontally backward with a speed of $12 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ relative to the helicopter. Ignoring air resistance, what is the horizontal distance between the package and the helicopter when the package hits the ground?
