A helicopter is ascending vertically with a speed of 5.10m/s. At a height of 105m above the Earth, a package is dropped from a w

indow. How much time does it take for the package to reach the ground? (hint: the package initial velocity equals the helicopter velocity)

Here it is given that initial speed of the package will be same as speed of the helicopter

v_i = 5.10 m/s

displacement of the package as it is dropped on ground

d = -105 m

acceleration is due to gravity

a = -9.8 m/s^2

now by kinematics

y = v* t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

-105 = 5.1 * t - \frac{1}{2}*9.8*t^2

4.9 t^2 - 5.1 t - 105 = 0

by solving above equation we have

t = 5.2 s

so it will take 5.2 s to reach the ground

Which statement BEST explains why the specific heat of water is higher than the specific heat of most other substances?
solniwko [45]
Due to its polarity and hydrogen bonding water can absorb heat without a significant temperature change.. The high specific heat of water helps regulate the rate at which air changes temperature, which is why the temperature change between seasons is gradual instead of sudden, especially near the oceans.
