Given parameters:
Initial velocity of Coin = 0m/s
Time taken before coin hits ground = 5.7s
Unknown:
Final velocity of the coin = ?
Velocity is displacement with time. To solve this problem, we have to apply one of the equations of motion.
The fitting one of them here is shown below;
V = U + gt
where;
V is the final velocity
U is the initial velocity
g is the acceleration due to gravity
t is the time taken
Here we use positive value of acceleration due to gravity because the coin is falling with the effect of acceleration and not against it.
Now input the parameters and solve;
V = 0 + 9.81 x 5.7
V = 55.917m/s
Therefore, the final velocity is 55.917m/s.
To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Force of gravity given by Newton's second law (which defines the weight of an object) and at the same time we will apply the Hooke relation that talks about the strength of a body in a system with spring.
The extension of the spring due to the weight of the object on Earth is 0.3m, then
The extension of the spring due to the weight of the object on Moon is a value of 
, then
Recall that gravity on the moon is a sixth of Earth's gravity.
We have that the displacement at the earth was 
, then
Therefore the displacement of the mass on the spring on Moon is 0.05m
I'm going to assume that this gripping drama takes place on planet Earth, where the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s². The solutions would be completely different if the same scenario were to play out in other places.
A ball is thrown upward with a speed of 40 m/s. Gravity decreases its upward speed (increases its downward speed) by 9.8 m/s every second.
So, the ball reaches its highest point after (40 m/s)/(9.8 m/s²) = <em>4.08 seconds</em>. At that point, it runs out of upward gas, and begins falling.
Just like so many other aspects of life, the downward fall is an exact "mirror image" of the upward trip. After another 4.08 seconds, the ball has returned to the height of the hand which flung it. In total, the ball is in the air for <em>8.16 seconds</em> up and down.
