Arescue helicopter is hovering over a person whose boat has sunk. one of the rescuers throws a life preserver straight down to the victim with an initial velocity of 1.50 m/s and observes that it takes 1.2 s to reach the water. how high above the water was the preserver released? note that the downdraft of the helicopter reduces the effects of air resistance on the falling life preserver, so that an acceleration equal to that of gravity is reasonable. round your answer to the nearest whole number.

![v_o = \textrm{Initial velocity} = 1.5[m/s]\\t = \textrm{air time} = 1.2 [s]](/tpl/images/0226/7823/f5f65.png)
![g = \textrm{gravity} = 9.8 [m/s^{2} ]](/tpl/images/0226/7823/3b31b.png)
![y = 0 - 1.5*1.2-\frac{1}{2}*9.8*1.2^{2} \\y = -8.85 [m] \approx -9 [m]](/tpl/images/0226/7823/71c82.png)

Two 1.20-m nonconducting wires meet at a right angle. one segment carries + 2.50 µc of charge distributed uniformly along its length, and the other carries - 2.50 µc distributed uniformly along it, as shown in fig. 21.50. ( a. find the magnitude and direction of the electric field these wires produce at point p, which is 60.0 cm from each wire. ( b. if an electron is released at p, what are the magnitude and direction of the net force that these wires exert on it?
