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

What kind of water temperature lowers the dissolved oxygen
ehidna [41]
<h3>Answer</h3>

At a high temperature above 20° oxygen solubility starts to decrease.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Oxygen, O2 is a very essential component of water as we can see in its chemical formula h2O.

The solubility of oxygen decreases as temperature increases. This means that warmer water will have less dissolved oxygen than does cooler water.

<h3>Other factors that affects oxygen solubility in water</h3>

Salt levels

higher the salt levels in water, lower will be oxygen in it.

Pressure

Water at lower altitudes can hold more dissolved oxygen than water at higher altitudes because dissolved oxygen will increase as pressure increases.
