Question

Upton Chuck is riding the Giant Drop at Great America. If Upton free falls for 2.60 seconds, what will be his final velocity and how far will he fall?​

Answer 1

d = -33.1 m and Vf = -25.5 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

a = -9.8 m

t = 2.6 s

Vᵢ = 0 m/s

To Find:

d = ?

Vf = ?

Now,

d = Vᵢ × t + 0.5 × a × t²

d = (0 m/s) × (2.60 s) + 0.5 × (-9.8 m/s²) × (2.60 s)²

d = -33.1 m (- indicates direction)

Vf = Vᵢ + a × t

Vf = 0 + (-9.8 m/s²) × (2.60 s)

Vf = -25.5 m/s (- indicates direction)

Thus, d = -33.1 m and Vf = -25.5 m/s
