Answer:
y₀ = 10.625 m
Explanation:
For this exercise we will use the kinematic relations, where the upward direction is positive.
y = y₀ + v₀ t - ½ g t²
in the exercise they indicate the initial velocity v₀ = 8 m / s.
when the rock reaches the ground its height is zero
0 = y₀ + v₀ t - ½ g t²
y₀i = -v₀ t + ½ g t²
let's calculate
y₀ = - 8 2.5 + ½ 9.8 2.5²
y₀ = 10.625 m
Explanation :
Distance is total path travelled by an object during its entire journey. It is a scalar quantity i.e only magnitude.
Displacement is the shortest distance covered by an object. It is basically the change in position of object. It is a vector quantity i.e direction as well as magnitude.
When an object is travelling in a straight line and stops at the end point, then both distance and displacement are same.
When an object is travelling in a straight line and then changes its direction or we can say come backwards then the magnitude of distance and displacement are different.
Force is directly proportional to rate of change of velocity so it increasing, velocity (motion of the object) will also increase.
Hope this helps!
