1.a bag is dropped from a hovering helicopter. the bag has fallen for 2 s. what is the ball's velocity at the instant its hitting the ground? what was the height of the helicopter? if the bag was dropped from a helicopter descending at the speed of 2 m/s what is the time of the bag fall and its velocity near the ground?

1. The bag's velocity immediately before hitting the ground.

Recall this kinematics equation:

Vf = Vi + aΔt

Vf is the final velocity, Vi is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and Δt is the time elapsed.

Given values:

Vi = 0m/s (you assume this because the bag is dropped, so it falls starting from rest)

a is 9.81m/s² (this is the near-constant acceleration of objects near the surface of the earth)

Δt = 2s

Plug in the values and solve for Vf:

Vf = 0 + 9.81×2

Vf = 19.62m/s

2. The height of the helicopter.

Recall this other kinematics equation:

d = ViΔt + 0.5aΔt²

d is the distance traveled by the object, Vi is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and Δt is the time elapsed.

Given values:

Vi = 0m/s (bag is dropped starting from rest)

a = 9.81m/s² (acceleration due to gravity of the earth)

Δt = 2s

Plug in the values and solve for d:

d = 0×2 + 0.5×9.81×2²

d = 19.62m

3. Time of the bag's fall and its velocity immediately before hitting the ground... if it started falling at 2m/s

Reuse the equation from question 2:

d = ViΔt + 0.5aΔt²

Given values:

d = 19.6m (height of the helicopter obtained from question 2)

Vi = 2m/s

a = 9.81m/s² (acceleration due to earth's gravity)

Plug in the values and solve for Δt:

19.6 = 2Δt + 0.5×9.81Δt²

4.91Δt² + 2Δt - 19.6 = 0

Use the quadratic formula to get values of Δt (a quick Google search will give you the formula and how to use it to solve for unknown values):

Δt = 1.8s, Δt = −2.2s

The formula gives us 2 possible answers for Δt but within the situation of our problem, only the positive value makes sense. Reject the negative value.

Δt = 1.8s

Now we can use this new value of Δt to get the velocity before hitting the ground:

Vf = Vi + aΔt

Given values:

Vi = 2m/s

a = 9.81m/s²

Δt = 1.8s (result from previous question)

Plug in the values and solve for Vf:

Vf = 2 + 9.81×1.8

Vf = 19.66m/s
