Displacement after 8.9 seconds is 1462.68 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

Initial velocity, u = 208 m/s

Acceleration, a = -9.81 m/s²

Time, t = 8.9 s

Substituting

s = ut + 0.5 at²

s = 208 x 8.9 + 0.5 x -9.81 x 8.9²

s = 1462.68 m

Displacement after 8.9 seconds is 1462.68 m
