5 0

Answer:

0.98 [sec].

Explanation:

1) the time when the player is moving up equals the time the player falls, it can be 't'. Then

2) the equation of moving down can be written as

\frac{g*t^2}{2} =h, \ where

g=10 [m/s²], t - time, h - the given height.

3) according to the formula above the time spent to moving down is:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}};

t=\sqrt{\frac{2.4}{10}}=\sqrt{0.24} =0.49[s].

4) finally, the total time is t*2=0.98[sec].

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

-4.71 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

y₀ = 1.13 m

y = 0 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Find: v

v² = v₀² + 2a (y − y₀)

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2(-9.8 m/s²) (0 m − 1.13 m)

v = -4.71 m/s

What is the speed of terminal velocity?
ivann1987 [24]
The so-called "terminal velocity" is the fastest that something can fall
through a fluid.  Even though there's a constant force pulling it through,
the friction or resistance of plowing through the surrounding substance
gets bigger as the speed grows, so there's some speed where the resistance
is equal to the pulling force, and then the falling object can't go any faster.

A few examples:
-- the terminal velocity of a sky-diver falling through air,
-- the terminal velocity of a pecan falling through honey,
-- the terminal velocity of a stone falling through water.

It's not possible to say that "the terminal velocity is ----- miles per hour".
If any of these things changes, then the terminal velocity changes too:

-- weight of the falling object
-- shape of the object
-- surface texture (smoothness) of the object
-- density of the surrounding fluid
-- viscosity of the surrounding fluid .
