A small mailbag is released from a helicopter that is descending steadily at 2.00 m/s. After 3.00 s. Required:
a. What is the speed of the mailbag?
b. How far is it below the helicopter?

Explanation:

Initial velocity of mailbag u = 2 m/s

acceleration downwards a = g = 9.8 m/s²

time t = 3 s

a ) final velocity v = ?

v = u + at

= 2 + 9.8 x 3

= 31.4 m /s

b )

s = ut + 1/2 g t²

s is relative displacement of mailbag

u = relative initial velocity of mailbag = 0

relative acceleration = g = 9.8 m /s²

time t = 3 s

s = 0 + 1/2 x 9.8 x 3²

= 44.1 m

relative displacement of mailbag = 44.1 m .

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods
