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