Explanation:
Because when you move the decimal point once, it it equal to 10 and to convert in the metric system, you must multiply or divide by 10. For example, when converting 4 centimeters to millimeters, you can multiply by 10 to get 40 millimeters or you can move the decimal point to the right and add another 0 to get 40.
Variables we know:
t = 8 seconds
Vi = 0 m/s
g = -9.81
Δy = ?
Vf = ?
Equation we will be using to solve for Vf: Vf = Vi + gt
Steps to solve:
Vf = (0) + (-9.81)(8)
Vf = -78.48 m/s
Hope this helps!! :)
