Question

A 34.5kg tree branch falls off of a cliff for a total of 12.09 s. What was the displacement of the tree branch?

Answer 1

Assuming air resistance is neglected and the only force acting on the branch is the acceleration due to gravity, the answer is 716.709768 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the initial velocity is 0, the displacement s, is simply written as :

s = (1/2)gt².

where g is the acceleration due to gravity.
