What you know:
Vi=0m/s
Vf=143.8m/s
A=-9.8m/s
d=???
Use the equation Vf^2=Vi^2+2A(d)
Rearrange to isolate d: d=Vf^2/2A
d=(143.8)^2/2(-9.8)
d=20678.4/-19.6
d=-1055m
The tank was released from a height of 1055m
Atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of the atmosphere pushing down on itself and on the surface below it.
Pressure is defined as the force acting on an object divided by the area upon witch the force is acting.
The metric unit of force is Newton or N. The Newton unit is also equal
to kilogram per meter per second squared. The Newton name came from the late
physicist Isaac Newton. It is also based on the second law of motion.
