Thanks for sharing that information. After extensive calculation,
we can say with assurance that after some number of seconds,
a loud "crunch" is perceived by the souls aboard the ill-fated vessel.
Answer:
The answer to your question is:
a) t = 3.81 s
b) vf = 37.4 m/s
Explanation:
Data
height = 71.3 m = 234 feet
t = 0 m/s
vf = ?
vo = 0 m/s
Formula
h = vot + 1/2gt²
vf = vo + gt
Process
a)
h = vot + 1/2gt²
71.3 = 0t + 1/2(9.81)t²
2(71.3) = 9,81t²
t² = 2(71.3)/9.81
t² = 14.53
t = 3.81 s
b)
vf = 0 + (9.81)(3.81)
vf = 37.4 m/s
