Question

What is the velocity of a ball dropped from a height of 150 m when it hits the ground? Take the upward direction as positive.

Answer 1

Answer:

The velocity of the ball when its hit the ground will be 54.22 m/sec    

Explanation:

We have given height from which ball is dropped h = 150 m

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

As the ball is dropped so initial velocity will be zero so u = 0 m/sec

According to third equation of motion we know that $v^2=u^2+2gh$

$v^2=0^2+2\times 9.8\times 150$

$v=54.22m/sec$

So the velocity of the ball when its hit the ground will be 54.22 m/sec
