Answer:

V = 19.8 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data:

Initial velocity = 10m/s

Time, t = 1 secs

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8m/s

To find the final velocity, we would use the first equation of motion;


V = U + at

Where;

V is the final velocity.

U is the initial velocity.

a is the acceleration.

t is the time measured in seconds.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

V = 10 + 9.8*1

V = 10 + 9.8

V = 19.8 m/s
