Answer:
Height of the helicopter, h = 1655.10 meters
Explanation:
It is given that,
Initial velocity of the package, u = 13 m/s
Time taken, t = 17.1 s
We need to find the height of the helicopter. Using the second equation of motion as :
[tex]h=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]
a = g (acceleration due to gravity)
[tex]h=13\ m/s\times 17.1\ s+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times (17.1\ s)^2[/tex]
h = 1655.10 m
So, the helicopter is at a height of 1655.10 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
