The height of a helicopter above the ground is given by h = 2.80t3, where h is in meters and t is in seconds. at t = 1.55 s, the helicopter releases a small mailbag. how long after its release does the mailbag reach the ground?

An object is dropped from a tower, 400 ft above the ground. the object's height above ground t seconds after the fall is s(t)equals400 minus 16 t squared. determine the velocity and acceleration of the object the moment it reaches the ground. the velocity of the object the moment it reaches the ground is nothing ft/s.

This problem has been solved! see the answera non-uniform fire escape ladder is 6.0m long whenextended to the icy alley below. it is held at the top by africtionless pivot, and there is neglibible frictional force fromthe icy surface at the bottom. the ladder weighs 250n, and it'scenter of gravity is 2.0m along the ladder from the bottom. amother and child of total weight 750n are on the ladder 1.5m fromthe pivot. the ladder makes an angle θ with the horizontal. find the magnitude and direction ofa) the force exerted by the icy alley on the ladderb) the force exerted by the ladder on the pivotc) do your answers in part a and b depend on the angle?

Light that is polarized along the vertical direction is incident on a sheet of polarizing material. only 96% of the intensity of the light passes through the sheet and strikes a second sheet of polarizing material. no light passes through the second sheet. what angle does the transmission axis of the second sheet make with the vertical?
