Answer:
Explanation:
We could use the following suvat equation:
where
s is the vertical displacement of the coin
v is its final velocity, when it hits the water
t is the time
g is the acceleration of gravity
Taking upward as positive direction, in this problem we have:
s = -1.2 m
And the coin reaches the water when
t = 1.3 s
Substituting these data, we can find v:
where the negative sign means the direction is downward.
