In To the Rescue, a supply bundle is dropped from a helicopter. The bundle's height off the ground t seconds after it is dropped is given by the equation h(t) = 400 – 16t2 %3D - with h(t) measured in feet. Suppose the bundle can withstand the impact of hitting the ground only for speeds up to 165 feet per second. To determine whether the bundle will survive the fall, you need to find out how fast it is traveli when it hits the ground.
