let the height of the person with marshmallow on her head be "h"
consider the motion of the marshmallow after it is dropped from bridge.
Y₀ = initial position of the marshmallow above the ground = 5.71 m
Y = final position of marshmallow on head of person = h
v₀ = initial velocity of the marshmallow = 0 m/s
a = acceleration due to gravity = - 9.8 m/s²
t = time of travel for marshmallow = 0.921 sec
Using the kinematics equation
Y = Y₀ + v₀ t + (0.5) a t²
inserting the values
h = 5.71 + 0 (0.921) + (0.5) (-9.8) (0.921)²
h = 5.71 - 4.16
h = 1.55 m
Answer:
49 m/s
Explanation:
Acceleration = velocity / time
You should know accleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 and you're given t = 5, so you can solve for velocity:
9.8 = v / 5
v = 49
D. A combination of longitudinal and transverse
