The velocity of the package after it has fallen for 3.0 s is 29.4 m/s
From the question,
A small package is dropped from the Golden Gate Bridge.
This means the initial velocity of the package is 0 m/s.
We are to calculate the velocity of the package after it has fallen for 3.0 s.
From one of the equations of kinematics for objects falling freely,
We have that,
v = u + gt
Where
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
g is the acceleration due to gravity
and t is time
To calculate the velocity of the package after it has fallen for 3.0 s
That means, we will determine the value of v, at time t = 3.0 s
The parameters are
u = 0 m/s
g = 9.8 m/s²
t = 3.0 s
Putting these values into the equation
v = u + gt
We get
v = 0 + (9.8×3.0)
v = 0 + 29.4
v = 29.4 m/s
Hence, the velocity of the package after it has fallen for 3.0 s is 29.4 m/s
