7. You are sitting in a helicopter that is climbing directly upward at a constant velocity of 2.5 m/s. The helicopter door is open, and you notice that a small screw slips out the door. You can assume the screw has no horizontal component to its velocity. (a) What is the velocity of the screw 4.0 s after falling out of the helicopter? (b) How far below the helicopter is the screw at this time?
