Hi!


We know that the boy must have thrown the bundle with some initial velocity 'v', and that the bundle stops after 1.5 seconds at a height 's' with a final velocity 'u' -which would be 0.

Our known values thus are:

Time (t) = 1.5 s

Final velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Gravitational acceleration (g) = -9.8 m/s^(2)

<em>Note: that the acceleration is negative as it is opposing the direction of motion (acting  down on the object, causing deceleration)</em>

We will be using <em>equations of motion for an accelerating object</em> to solve first for initial velocity, in order to find the distance.

<h3>Initial Velocity using     <u>v = u + at</u></h3>

Rearranging the equation, and using the value 'g' as our acceleration, we get,<em> u = v - at</em>

u = 0 - (-9.8)(1.5) = 14.7m/s

<h3>Distance Travelled using   <u>v^2 = u^2 + 2as</u></h3>

Rearranging the equation, we get, <em>s= v^(2) - u^(2) / 2a</em>

s = 0^(2) - 14^(2) / 2(-9.8)                          

<em>Note: the negative sign is not a part of the initial velocity, but a part of the equation </em>

s = - 216.09 / -19.6 = 11.025 m


The distance traveled by the bundle is hence, ~ 11 meters, which is high enough for the girl to catch.


Hope this helps!

Formation of the Earth's Atmosphere. The early Earth was very different from our Earth today. The early Earth experienced frequent impacts from asteroids and meteorites and had much more frequent volcanic eruptions. There was no life on Earth for the first billion years because the atmosphere was not suitable for life.
