Answer:

<em>The final speed of the second package is twice as much as the final speed of the first package.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Free Fall Motion</u>

If an object is dropped in the air, it starts a vertical movement with an acceleration equal to g=9.8 m/s^2. The speed of the object after a time t is:

v=gt

And the distance traveled downwards is:

\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}

If we know the height at which the object was dropped, we can calculate the time it takes to reach the ground by solving the last equation for t:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}}

Replacing into the first equation:

\displaystyle v=g\sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}}

Rationalizing:

\displaystyle v=\sqrt{2gy}

Let's call v1 the final speed of the package dropped from a height H. Thus:

\displaystyle v_1=\sqrt{2gH}

Let v2 be the final speed of the package dropped from a height 4H. Thus:

\displaystyle v_2=\sqrt{2g(4H)}

Taking out the square root of 4:

\displaystyle v_2=2\sqrt{2gH}

Dividing v2/v1 we can compare the final speeds:

\displaystyle v_2/v_1=\frac{2\sqrt{2gH}}{\sqrt{2gH}}

Simplifying:

\displaystyle v_2/v_1=2

The final speed of the second package is twice as much as the final speed of the first package.
