Answer:

The height of the package when it was released was 1102.5 meters

Explanation:

A package is dropped from a hovering helicopter

Dropped means the initial velocity of the package is zero

The package takes 15 seconds to strike the ground

Ignore the air resistance

We need to know the height of the package when it was released

$h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ , where h is the height of the package

from the ground, u is the initial velocity, g is the acceleration of gravity

and t is the time

u = 0 , t = 15 seconds , g = 9.8 m/s²

$h=(0)(15)+\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(15)^{2}$

$h=0+1102.5$

h = 1102.5 meters

<em>The height of the package when it was released was 1102.5 meters</em>

If displacement is negative,is velocity negative too?

evablogger [386]

Answer:

An object which moves in the negative direction has a negative velocity. If the object is speeding up then its acceleration vector is directed in the same direction as its motion (in this case, a negative acceleration).

9. As a cold front passes a New York weather station,

musickatia [10]

When the cold front or wind passes weather station, the pressure increases whereas the temperature increases.

<h3>What happen when cold front passes a New York weather station?</h3>

Pressure rises and temperature falls as a cold front passes a New York weather station because wind apply pressure on the objects when they blow. If the wind is cold then the temperature decreases.

So we can conclude that when the cold front or wind passes weather station, the pressure increases whereas the temperature increases.

Mr. Miles zips down a water-slide starting at 15 m vertical distance up the scaffolding. Disregarding friction, what is the velo

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

The velocity of the Mr. miles is 17.14 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mr. Miles zips down a water-slide starting at 15 m vertical distance up the scaffolding, h = 15 m

We need to find the velocity of the Mr. Miles at the bottom of the slide. It is a case of conservation of energy which states that the total energy of the system remains conserved. Let v is the velocity of the Mr. miles. So,

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

g is the acceleration due to gravity

$v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 15}$

v = 17.14 m/s

So, the velocity of the Mr. miles is 17.14 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
