This problem involves a helicpoter ascending vertically at 5.5m/s . When it is as the height of 105 meters, a package is dropped to the ground. how can you solve this problems. does the fact that the helicopter was moving upward at 5.5 m/s is significant to knowing how long it will take the package to hit the ground.

Yes, it is significant, because that is the initial velocity of the package. Since it's moving upward, it will travel upward until its vertical speed reaches zero and then will fall from that height, which is of course higher than the release point. So it wil take longer.

Hi. Yes. The package continues up until gravity stops it and, from this new height, it falls. (This ignores the downward force from the blade wake, of course.)
