Answer: 115m. Displacement can be taken from the distance between the initial point and the final point. In this case,the displacement is 115m.

A builder drops a brick from a height of 15 m above the ground. The gravitational field strength g is 10 N/ kg. What is the spee

Basile [38]

The speed of the brick dropped by the builder as it hits the ground is 17.32m/s.

Given the data in the question;

Since the brick was initially at rest before it was dropped,

Initial Velocity; $u = 0$

Height from which it has dropped; $h = 15m$

Gravitational field strength; $g = 10N/kg = 10 \frac{kg.m/s^2}{kg} = 10m/s^2$

Final speed of brick as it hits the ground; $v = \ ?$

<h3>Velocity</h3>

velocity is simply the same as the speed at which a particle or object moves. It is the rate of change of position of an object or particle with respect to time. As expressed in the Third Equation of Motion:

$v^2 = u^2 + 2gh$

Where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, h is its height or distance from ground and g is gravitational field strength.

To determine the speed of the brick as it hits the ground, we substitute our giving values into the expression above.

$v^2 = u^2 + 2gh\\\\v^2 = 0 + ( 2\ *\ 10m/s^2\ *\ 15m)\\\\v^2 = 300m^2/s^2\\\\v = \sqrt{300m^2/s^2}\\ \\v = 17.32m/s$
