Answer:

B. Decrease the plane’s speed and height

Explanation:

Decrease in speed of plane:

When the speed of the plane is decreased then initial velocity of the package will be lesser. As a result, final velocity will also be lesser because in this case final velocity depends upon the initial velocity.

Decrease in height:

According to law of conservation of energy:

Loss in potential energy = Gain in Kinetic energy  

                                 mgh = ½ mV^2

It means with the decrease in height less potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy. As package has constant mass so it will gain less velocity.

Marrrta [24]
Because of inertia (Newton's First Law), the person will keep moving forward with the same velocity that they were travelling before the collision. Also, following Darwin's Law of natural selection, it is a mechanism for removing undesirable traits (idiocy) from the human gene pool.
