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

Step 1
First, we need to calculate the total distance the package traveled. We know that the package was moving upward at 15 m/s for 16 seconds before it started falling. So, the package moved upward 15 m/s * 16 s = 240 m. Show more…
