Answer:
Her speed is 9.8 meter per second
Explanation:
Newton's second law states that acceleration (a) is related with force (F) by:
(1)
Here the only force acting on the firefighter is the weight F=mg so (1) is:
Solving for a:
Now with the acceleration we can use the Galileo's kinematic equation:
(2)
With Vf the final velocity, Vo the initial velocity and Δx the displacement, because the firefighter stars from rest Vo=0 so (2) is:
Solving for Vf
