Answer:
Vf = 29.4 m/s
h = 44.1 m
Explanation:
Data:
- Initial Velocity (Vo) = 0 m/s
- Gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
- Time (t) = 3 s
- Final Velocity (Vf) = ?
- Height (h) = ?
==================================================================
Final Velocity
Use formula:
- Vf = g * t
Replace:
- Vf = 9.8 m/s² * 3s
Multiply:
- Vf = 29.4 m/s
==================================================================
Height
Use formula:
Replace:
Multiply time squared:
Simplify the s², and multiply in the numerator:
It divides:
