Answer:

v = 31.32 [m/s]  

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the principle of energy conservation, which tells us that potential energy is converted into kinetic energy or vice versa. The potential energy can be calculated by the product of mass by gravity by height.

E_{pot}=m*g*h

where:

Epot = potential energy [J]

m = mass = 25 [kg]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

h = elevation = 50 [m]

Now replacing:

E_{pot}=25*9.81*50\\E_{pot}= 12262.5[J]

When the rock falls the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

E_{pot}=E_{k}\\E_{k}=\frac{1}{2}*m*v^{2}

where:

Ek = kinetic energy [J]

v = velocity [m/s]

Now clearing v:

v^{2} =\frac{E_{k}*2}{m}\\v=\sqrt{(2*12262)/25}\\v = 31.32 [m/s]

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Acceleration  =  (change in speed)  /  (time for the change)

                       =      (49 m/s)   /   (5 seconds)

                       =       (49 / 5)  m/s  /  s

                       =            9.8 m/s²
