Question
A helicopter carrying Dr. Evil takes
off with a constant upward
acceleration of 5.0 m/s2. Secret
agent Austin Powers jumps on
just as the helicopter lifts off the
ground. After the two men
struggle for 10.0 s, Powers shuts
off the engine and steps out of
the helicopter. Assume that the
helicopter is in free fall after its
engine is shut off, and ignore the
effects of air resistance. (b)
Powers deploys a jet pack
strapped on his back 7.0 s after
leaviling the helicopter, and then
he has a constant downward
acceleration with magnitude2.0
m/s2 How far is Powers above the
ground when the helicopter
crashes into the ground ?
184 above the ground
O 194 above the ground
O 174 above the ground
O 164 above the ground
