Question

Isabella drops a pen off her balcony by accident while celebrating the successful completion of a physics problem. assuming air resistance is negligible, how many seconds does it take the pen to reach a speed of 19.62 \,\dfrac{\text {m}}{\text s}19.62 âs â âm ââ 19, point, 62, space, start fraction, m, divided by, s, end fraction

Answer 1

u = 0, initial vertical velocity

Neglect air resistance, and g = 9.8 m/s².

The time, t, required for the pen to attain a vertical velocity of 19.62 m/s is given by
19.62 m/s = 0 + (9.8 m/s²)*(t s)
t = 19.62/9.8 = 2.00 s

Answer: 2.0 s
