Question

A bird flying straight upward at 5 m/s drops a berry when it is 300 m above the ground. How fast is the berry going when it hits the ground (neglect air resistance) ___ m/s.

Answer 1

v=77.62 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

h= - 300 m

speed of the bird ,u= 5 m/s

Lets take Speed of the berry when it hit the ground = v m/s

we know that ,if object is moving upward

v² = u² - 2 g h

u=Initial speed

v=Final speed

h=Height

Now by putting the values

v² = u² - 2 g h

v² = 5² - 2 x 10 x (-300) ( take g = 10 m/s²)

v² =25 + 20 x 300

v² ==25 + 6000

v² =6025

v=77.62 m/s

Therefore the final speed of the berry will be 77.62 m/s.
