Formula for final velocity: Vf= vi+(a*t)
Vi- initial velocity, a=acceleration, t-time
Vf=vi+(at)
Vf= 0+(9.8m/s*2.8s)
Vf= 27.44 m/s
The acceleration of the Earth when dropping something would be 9.8 m/s
Here is an reference that can help you answer problems like these.
Hope this helps and good luck :)
Answer:
Answer: It takes 5,730 years for half the carbon-14 to change to nitrogen; this is the half-life of carbon-14. After another 5,730 years only one-quarter of the original carbon-14 will remain
