Question

A helicopter flying at an altitude of 600 ft dropped a package to a lifeboat. Use the formula t= - to find how many

Answer 1

Answer:

6.1 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is

A helicopter flying at an altitude of 600 ft dropped a package to a lifeboat. Use the formula t= √h/4 to find how many  seconds it takes for the package to reach the lifeboat. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a second

we have

$t= \frac{\sqrt{h}}{4}$

substitute the value of h in the formula

$h=600\ ft$

$t= \frac{\sqrt{600}}{4}=6.1\ sec$
