A rescue pilot drops a survival kit while her plane is flying at an altitude of 2000.0m with a foward velocity of 100.0m/s. If air friction is disregarded, how far in advance of the starving explorer's drop zone should she release the package.​

Since the pully is a simple machine so the mechanical advantage is a 1

The genes are more on the side of.. b nature

The figure is missing but we can answer anyway.the correct answer is "releasing the string". in fact, when the person is holding the bow and the arrow, the kinetic energy of the arrow is still zero (because the arrow is not moving). the moment the arrow is released, it acquires a velocity v, so its kinetic energy will become different from zero: where m is the mass of the arrow and v its velocity.  all the other options, instead, do not increase the kinetic energy of the system: -  pulling farther back on the string : this will just increase the elastic potential energy of the system-  holding the arrow higher: this will increase the gravitational potential energy of the system (which is given by u=mgh, where h is the height above the ground)-  decreasing the mass of the arrow: this will decrease the gravitational potential energy of the system (which is given by u=mgh, where m is the mass)
