- A rescue helicopter is hovering over a person whose sailboat has capsized. One of the rescuers tosses a life preserver straight down to the person with an initial speed of 1.25 m/s and observes that it takes 1.75 s to reach the water. How high above the water was the preserver released? Note that the downdraft of the helicopter reduces the effect of air resistance on the falling life preserver, so that an acceleration equal to that due to gravity is reasonable.arrow_forwardA projectile is fired vertically upward with a given initial velocity.
