Answer: 2.5 m/s and 6.25 m
Explanation:
u = 0
a = 0.5 m/s²
t = 5 s
v = u + at
= 0 + 0.5 × 5
= <u>2.5 m/s</u>
s = ut + 1/2 at²
= 1/2 × 2.5 × 5
=<u> 6.25 m</u>
For any object thrown upwards where only the force of gravity is acting upon it, uses the following formula for the maximum height attained.
H= v²/2g, where g = 9.81 m/s²
There are two information of velocities are given. However, we use the 20 m/s information because this is the launch velocity. Hence, the solution is as follows:
H = (20 m/s)²/2(9.81 m/s²)
<em>H = 20.4 m</em>
Since it was dropped, it should be the speed of gravity which is 9.8 meters/second
