The distance the package above the ground when it was released, s ≈ 530 meters

<h3 /><h3>What are kinematic equations?</h3>

The kinematic equation of motion gives the interrelationships of the variables of motion.The correct option for the distance the package above the ground when it was released, is the third option;

It is given that:

The velocity of the helicopter from which the package was dropped = 15 m/s

The time it takes the package to strike the ground = 12 seconds

The required parameter:

The height of the package from the ground when it was dropped

The kinematic equation of motion relating distance, s, time, t, acceleration due to gravity, g, initial velocity, u, and final velocity, v, is applied as follows;

The package continues the upward motion for some time, t₁, given as follows;

Upward motion of the package

v = u - g·t₁

v = 0 at highest point reached by the package;

Therefore;

0 = 15 m/s - 9.81 m/s²  × t₁

t₁ = 15 m/s/(9.81 m/s²) ≈ 1.5295022 seconds

The time the package takes to return to the initial starting point, t₂ = t₁

The time the package falls after returning to the point it was dropped, t₃, is given as follows;

t₃ = t - (t₂ + t₁) = t - 2 × t₁

∴ t₃ = 12 s - 2 × 1.5295022 s ≈ 8.940996 s

From the symmetry of the motion of a projectile, the velocity of the package when returns to its staring point where it was dropped = u (Downwards) = 15 m/s

The distance the package falls, s, which is the distance the package above the ground when it was released, is given as follows;

s = u·t + (1/2)·g·t²

s = 15× 8.940996  + (1/2) × 9.81 × 8.940996² = 526.22755346 ≈ 530

The distance the package falls, s ≈ 530 m = The height of the

The distance the package above the ground when it was released, s ≈ 530 meters

Does the rankine degree represent a larger or smaller temperature unit than the kelvin degree
zvonat [6]
The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by the question is the first choice, larger.

Rankine is Fahrenheit + 460 , while Kelvin is Celsius + 273. We all know that Fahrenheit has larger number compared to kelvin , thus rankine is much larger.
Hope my answer would be a great help for you.    If you have more questions feel free to ask here at Brainly.

A circular pizza into 3 equal parts, one piece of pizza is taken out. Estimate the degree measure of the single piece of pizza a
seropon [69]

Answer:

A circular pizza has a angle of 360 degrees. When you cut it into 3 equal pieces you divide 360 by 3,you get 120 degrees. And following the conversion of 120 degree into radian you get 2pie/3 radians.

A car covers 400m distance in 50 sec find it's speed?
Lena [83]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 8 \ m/s}}

Explanation:

Speed is equal to distance over time.

s=\frac{d}{t}

The distance is 400 meters and the time is 50 seconds.

d= 400 \ m \\t= 50 \ s

Substitute the values into the formula.

s=\frac { 400 \ m }{ 50 \ s}

Divide.

s= 8 \ m/s

The speed of the car is 8 meters per second.
