Apply conservation of energy to account for transfers between kinetic, potential, thermal and other forms.
Another parcel is accidentally released from rest by a different aircraft when it is hovering at a great height above the ground. Air resistance is now significant.
Describe the energy conversion that occurs when the parcel is falling through the air at constant (terminal) speed.
