Answer:

Her speed is 9.8 meter per second

Explanation:

Newton's second law states that acceleration (a) is related with force (F) by:

\sum\overrightarrow{F}=m\overrightarrow{a} (1)

Here the only force acting on the firefighter is the weight F=mg so (1) is:

mg=ma

Solving for a:

a=g

Now with the acceleration we can use the Galileo's kinematic equation:

Vf^{2}=Vo^{2}+2a\varDelta x (2)

With Vf the final velocity, Vo the initial velocity and Δx the displacement, because the firefighter stars from rest Vo=0 so (2) is:

Vf^{2}=2a\varDelta x

Solving for Vf

Vf=\sqrt{2g\varDelta x}=\sqrt{2(9.81)(4.9)}

Vf=9.8\frac{m}{s}

Answer:

5.2941176471 kg or 5294.1 grams

Explanation:

g.p.e= mgh

g.p.e/gh=m

180j/10×3.4= m

180/34= m
