Answer #1

As the helicopter is not moving upwards or downwards but taking round on a horizontal plane so the initial velocity of ball thrown downwards can be taken as zero and so we can solve the problem using two equations of motion

1) A rescue helicopter is hovering over a woman whose boat has capsized. One of the rescuers tosses a life preserver straight down to the woman with an initial speed of 1.05 m/s and notices that it takes 1.55 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...
