Question

An eraser is thrown upward with an initial velocity of 5.0m/s. The eraser’s velocity after 7.0 second is

Answer 1

Answer:

-63.6m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 5m/s

Time of flight  = 7s

Unknown:

Velocity of the eraser after 7s = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we have to use the right motion equation which is given below;

          v  = u - gt

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity  = 9.8m/s²

t is the time taken;

  Now insert the parameters and solve for v;

     v  = 5  - (9.8 x 7)  

    v   = -63.6m/s
