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:
12.5 m/s
Explanation:
The motion of the hammer is a free fall motion, so a uniformly accelerated motion, therefore we can use the following suvat equation:

Where, taking downward as positive direction, we have:
s = 8 m is the displacement of the hammer
u = 0 is the initial velocity (it is dropped from rest)
v is the final velocity
is the acceleration of gravity
Solving the equation for v, we find the final velocity:

So, the final speed is 12.5 m/s.
