Yes.  Momentum is a vector, so several non-zero momenta can add up to zero.  Consider for a simple example a mass of 10kg moving to the right at 5m/s, and another mass of 10kg moving to the left at 5m/s.  These momenta each have a magnitude equal to 50 kg m/s but have opposite sign and so the total system's momentum is zero.

dusya [7]

Using the kinematic equation:

Vf=Vi+at then plug the values in.

Vi=0 m/s (Because the ball is dropped)

t=3 s.

a=9.81 m/s=g

Vf=0+3*9.81;

Vf=29.43 m/s
