Answer:

The velocity of watermelon when it passes Superman is 78 m/s.

Explanation:

Height of the building, d = 320 m

Speed of the superman, v = 39 m/s

We need to find the speed of watermelon when it passes Superman. Let t is the time taken by the watermelon. So,

d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

Here u = 0

d=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

39t=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times t^2

t = 7.95 seconds

Let v is the speed of the watermelon. It is given by :

v=gt

v=9.8\times 7.95

v = 77.91 m/s

or

v = 78 m/s

So, the velocity of watermelon when it passes Superman is 78 m/s.
