Question

A firefighter is on the fifth floor of an office building. She needs to throw a rope into the window on the seventh floor, 40 feet above her. If she throws the rope upward with an initial velocity of 36 ft/s, will the rope get to the window.

Answer 1

no, it wont

Explanation:

2g.h = v²

2(33)(40) = v²

2640=v²

v=√2640 = 51.38 ft/s

36 < 51.38

so, the rope will not get to the window
