Question
In the aftermath of typhoon Yolanda, relief goods were dropped from helicopters hovering above
isolated islands. A helicopter hovered 1,200 m above an island and each box of relief goods, weighing
20 kilograms, was dropped freely from the plane. Complete the following Conservation of Mechanical
Energy Table (COMET) for one box of relief goods. Show your calculations in the space below the table.
Ignore the effect of air resistance (free fall).
