(a) What happens to the magnitude and direction of a vector when you negate the vector? (b) When is the average speed equal to the magnitude of the average velocity, and when are they different? (c) Velocities are given two subscripts when discussing relative velocity. What happens when you reverse these two subscripts? Give an example.

Problem In a relief operation mission involving a helicopter h distance above the ground traveling with a horizontal velocity vx. What should be the expression for the horizontal distance dx at which you release the relief package so that it will arrive to the survivors at the right place? (Neglect the effect of air resistance) Solution To determine this, we must first derive the time it takes for the relief package to reach the survivors. We use this equation -h = vinitial-yt + (1/2)ay________________ If we just drop the package from the helicopter, the equation above becomes ________________=________________ + (1/2)ay_____________________ Substituting ay = -g then simplifying results to t = sqrt( _____________/______________ ) which is the time it takes for the object to reach the ground. Since the package will just travel at a constant velocity in the x-axis, thus dx = vxt Substituting the time taken by the package to reach to ground results to: dx = ( _________ )( sqrt…
