The velocity of the ball is 7 m/s
Explanation:
The motion of the ball is a free fall motion, so it means that the ball falls down under the effect of the force of gravity only. Therefore, it has a constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity, g), and we can use the following suvat equation:
where
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
s is the displacement
For the ball in this problem, we have:
u = 0 (initial velocity, the ball is dropped from rest)
(acceleration of gravity)
s = 2.5 m (vertical displacement)
Solving for v, we find the velocity at which the ball hits the concrete surface:
