A ball is dropped off a very tall canyon ledge. Gravity accelerates the ball at 9.8 m/s2. How fast is the ball traveling after 5
1 answer:
As ball is dropped, so its initial velocity (u) of the ball is = 0
Acceleration of the ball (a) is given to be 9.8 m/s^2
As acceleration is constant, so we can apply the equation of kinematics for constant acceleration i.e.
where u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and v is final velocity at after time t
so velocity after 5 sec will be
