A package is dropped from a helicopter moving upward at 15m/s . If it takes 16.0m/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 Fortune A.
Step 1
First, we need to find the time it takes for the package to reach its highest point. Since the package is moving upward at 15 m/s, we can use the following equation to find the time: v = u + at where v is the final velocity (0 m/s at the highest point), u is the Show more…
