Explanation & Answer

21.    velocity of package relative to ground = 2.5 m/s

 the helicopter is climbing upwards with a velocity of 2.5 m/s with respect to ground. As the package is released. it's velocity will be equal to that of helicopter for the ground observer. 


22.   time to overtake sedan = 0.08 hr

         the velocity of sedan with respect to ground = 80 km/h

         the velocity of police car with respect to ground  = 100km/h

        the velocity of police car with respect to sedan = 100-80 = 20 km/h

        therefore

                time taken by  police car to overtake the sedan = distance/speed = 1.6/20 = 0.08hr
