Finding acceleration= final speed-initial speed/time taken (or A=V-U\T)
Finial speed= 27.8s
Initial speed= 0s
Time taken= 5.15
So..
27.8-0/5.15= 5.40m/s (rounded to two decimal places)

Hi there!
We can begin by deriving the equation for how long the ball takes to reach the bottom of the cliff.

There is NO initial vertical velocity, so:

Rearrange to solve for time:

Plug in the given height and acceleration due to gravity (g ≈ 9.8 m/s²)

Now, use the following for finding the HORIZONTAL distance using its horizontal velocity:
