Afood packet is dropped from a helicopter during a flood-relief operation from a height of 750 meters. assuming no drag (air friction), what will the velocity of the packet be when it reaches the ground? also, at what height will the packet have half this velocity?

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

if you answer my question i will answer yours

i just did an experiment like this in my science class. also the answer is yes, it will get separated because they are two opposites meaning if they are opposite they can not attract.

hope this .!
