Apackage dropped from an airplane reaches a velocity of 117.72 m/s in how many seconds? (show all work)

In order to work on this one, we have to ignore air resistance.
If we include the effects of air resistance in our calculation, we would need
a ton of information that's not given in the question, and we would need an
Aeronautical Engineer to know how to use it all.

Ignoring air resistance . . .

Gravity adds 9.81 m/s to the downward speed of a falling object.

If the object is "dropped", then it's original speed is zero.

It reaches 117.72 m/s in

                       (117.72 m/s) / (9.81 m/s²)  =  12.00 seconds
  

4. 50x10= 500m/s 5. 52m/s
