Convert the given in SI units.
(44 ft/sec)(1 m/ 3.28 ft) = 13.41 m/sec
The distance traveled and the initial velocity can be related through the equation,
d = (Vf)² - (Vi)²/ 2a
where d is the distance, Vf is the final velocity, Vi is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration due to gravity. Substituting the known values from the given above,
d = ((0 m/s)² - (13.41 m/s)²)/ 2(-9.8 m/s²)
The value of d from the equation,
d = 9.17 meters
Convert this to feet,
d = (9.17 m)(3.28 ft / 1 m) = 30 ft
Answer: 30 ft
