We can calculate this with the law of conservation of energy. Here we have a food package with a mass m=40 kg, that is in the height h=500 m and all of it's energy is potential. When it is dropped, it's potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy. So we can say that its kinetic and potential energy are equal, because we are neglecting air resistance:
Ek=Ep, where Ek=(1/2)*m*v² and Ep=m*g*h, where m is the mass of the body, g=9.81 m/s² and h is the height of the body.
(1/2)*m*v²=m*g*h, masses cancel out and we get:
(1/2)*v²=g*h, and we multiply by 2 both sides of the equation
v²=2*g*h, and we take the square root to get v:
v=√(2*g*h)
v=99.04 m/s
So the package is moving with the speed of v= 99.04 m/s when it hits the ground.

What, it isn’t?!
Sorry, I had to.
As far as I have read and understood, the Sumerians and later the Babylonians both had astronomical calendars that already differentiated planets and stars. Earth was not the center to them, the Sun likely was. That was around 2,200 - 1,600 BC.
After that, Greek philosopher Aristarchus of Samos (310 - 230 BC) was the first (recorded) to have believed the solar system was organized around the Sun, rather than the Earth. His heliocentric model was unpopular during Aristarchus’ lifetime, although it would inspire astronomers centuries later, such as Copernicus and Galileo.
Now, there are numerous archeological findings (cave paintings) and studies, that all suggest an understanding of complex astronomy in prehistoric times dating back as far as 40,000 years. This also explains how early, prehistoric migrants may have navigated the seas.

hope it helps
have a good day
The molecules of a solid vibrate faster so that they start spreading out to become a liquid. This energy makes them vibrate faster so the bonds between molecules can't interact all that well anymore creating more distance. The stronger the bonds between the molecules the higher the energy (temperature) has to be to get them away from each other. Hope I didn't confuse you too much!
Answer
given,
firm is producing = 2,475 units
output by hiring 50 workers W = $20 per hour
25 units of capital R = $10 per hour
marginal product of labor = 40
marginal product of capital = 25
Firm is not minimizing the cost because the firm use more capital and less labor.
