A man riding upward in a freight elevator accidentally drops a package off the elevator when it is 100 ft from the ground. If the elevator maintains a constant upward speed of 4 ft/s, determine how high the elevator is from the ground the instant the package hits the ground. Draw the v–t curve for the package during the time it is in motion. Assume that the package was released with the same upward speed as the elevator.
The small body has a speed VA = 6.0 m/s at point A. Neglecting friction, determine its speed at point B after it has risen 1.22 m. Is
