continents, paleoclimate indicators, truncated geologic features, and fossils:D
1. Velocity at which the packet reaches the ground: 121.2 m/s
The motion of the packet is a uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration
directed downward, initial vertical position
, and initial vertical velocity
. We can use the following SUVAT equation to find the final velocity of the packet after travelling for d=750 m:

substituting, we find

2. height at which the packet has half this velocity: 562.6 m
We need to find the heigth at which the packet has a velocity of

In order to do that, we use again the same SUVAT equation substituting
with this value, so that we find the new distance d that the packet travelled from the helicopter to reach this velocity:

Which means that the heigth of the packet was

At the same speed because it will slow down as it approaches the peak then speed up as it goes down again
it will be going 15m/s when it gets to the same height if we neglect air resistance and the object doesn't hit something
If the current takes him downstream we must find the resultant vector of the velocities:

Then if the river is 3000 m-wide the swimmer will have to pass:
1.3520747 · 300 = 4056.14 m t = 4056.14 m : 1 m/s
a ) It takes
4056.15 seconds ( 1 hour 7 minutes and 36 seconds ) to cross the river.
b ) 0.91 · 3000 =
2730 mHe will be 2730 m downstream.
