A helicopter is ascending vertically with a speed of 5.30 m/s. At a height of 107 m above the Earth, a package is dropped from the helicopter. How much time does it take for the package to reach the ground? [Hint: What is v0 for the package?] Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units. My Answer is that t= 4.163 but what unit is it? I tried s, m/s, min but none of them were correct. PLEASE HELP CONFIRM MY ANSWER and THE UNIT along with 4.163
An athlete performing a long jump leaves the ground at a 31.8 ∘∘ angle and lands 7.65 mm away. What was the takeoff speed?

What was the jeep's instantaneous velocity in the horizontal direction, in meters per second, when it began braking? 2. Using the result from question 1, what was the jeep's horizontal component of acceleration, in meters per squared second, during the braking period?
1.) A street light is mounted at the top of a 15-ft-tall pole. A man 6 feet tall walks away from the pole with a speed of 7 ft/s along a straight path. How fast (in ft/s) is the tip of his shadow moving when he is 45 feet from the pole? ________ ft/s 2.) Two cars start moving from the same point. One travels south at 32 mi/h and the other travels west at 24 mi/h. At what rate (in mi/h) is the distance between the cars increasing four hours later? ________ mi/h 3. Question (a) is already solved. Please solve question (b). (a) If A is the area of a circle with radius r and the circle expands as time passes, find dA dt in terms of dr dt . dA dt = 2πr dr dt (b) Suppose oil spills from a ruptured tanker and spreads in a circular pattern. If the radius of the oil spill increases at a constant rate of 2 m/s, exactly how fast (in m2/s) is the area of the spill increasing when the radius is 33 m?…
A snow-covered ski slope makes an angle of 35.0 with the horizontal. When a ski jumper plummets onto the hill, a parcel of splashed snow is thrown up to a maximum displacement of 1.50 m at 16.0 from the vertical in the uphill direction as shown in Figure P3.16. Find the components of its maximum displacement (a) parallel to the surface and (b) perpendicular to the surface. Figure P3.16

A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 0.750 m/s leaves the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high and falls into a pool (Fig. P3.54). (a) How far from the wall will the water land? Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway? (b) To sell her plan to the city council, the architect wants to build a model to standard scale, one-twelfth actual size. How fast should the water flow in the channel in the model? Figure P3.54
