Homework Statement
A photographer in a helicopter ascending vertically at a constant rate of 12.5 m/s accidentally drops a camera out the window when the helicopter is 60.0 m above the ground.
-How long will it take the camera to reach the ground? What will its speed be when it hits?
a= -9.8 m/s^2 displacement=60 m
Homework Equations
(final v)^2=(initial v)^2 + 2*a*deltax
deltax=1/2a(t^2)+(initial v*t)
The Attempt at a Solution
initial v=0
so time will equal 3.5 s, and final velocity will equal 33.67 m/s^2
however, these are incorrect
