30 sospe A rescue helicopter is hovering over a person whose vessel has capsized. One of the rescuers throws a life preserver straight down to the
merson with an initial speed of 1.1 m/s and notices 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.
