Question

a) the the velocity of the ball, and
b) how far is the ball below the helicopter?
c) & d) Repeat your calculations for a) and b) if the helicopter had been rising at 1.5 m/s instead.

Answer 1

a. V = Vo + g*t. Vo=1.5 m/s, g=9.8m/s^2

b. d = Vo*t + 0.5g*t^2.

c. Vo = -1.5 m/s,

d. Vo = -1.5 m/s.
