A helicopter is ascending with a velocity of 2 m/s at a height of 24 m when it drops a mail packet. The packet contains material, which can be damaged if it hits ground with velocity of magnitude greater than 72 km / h. Was the packet damaged? Explain your answer.
(Take g = 10 m/s2)
The packet reaches the ground with a velocity (22 m/s), which is greater than the safe velocity of 20 m/s. So the packet is damaged.
