Ahelicopter, initially hovering 40 feet above the ground, begins to gain altitude at a rate of 21 feet per second. which of the following functions represents the helicopter’s altitude above the ground y, in feet, t seconds after the helicopter begins to gain altitude?

Two masses are connected by a rope that hangs over a pulley as shown below. the pulley is a uniform cylinder of radius 푅=0.381meters and mass 푀=3.1푘푔. initially 푚"is on the ground and 푚#rests 2.5 meters above the ground. if the system is released, use conservation of energy to determine the speed of 푚#just before it strikes the ground. assume the pulley bearing is frictionless.
