Answer:
a) h = 593.50 m
b) h₁₁ = 103 m
c) vf = 107.91 m/s
Explanation:
a)
We will use second equation of motion to find the height:
where,
h = height = ?
vi = initial speed = 0 m/s
t = time taken = 11 s
g = 9.81 /s²
Therefore,
<u>h = 593.50 m</u>
b)
For the distance travelled in last second, we first need to find velocity at 10th second by using first equation of motion:
where,
vf = final velocity at tenth second = v₁₀ = ?
t = 10 s
vi = 0 m/s
Therefore,
Now, we use the 2nd equation of motion between 10 and 11 seconds to find the height covered during last second:
where,
h = height covered during last second = h₁₁ = ?
vi = v₁₀ = 98.1 m/s
t = 1 s
Therefore,
<u>h₁₁ = 103 m</u>
c)
Now, we use first equation of motion for complete motion:
where,
vf = final velocity at tenth second = ?
t = 11 s
vi = 0 m/s
Therefore,
<u>vf = 107.91 m/s</u>
