Answer:

Vf = 98 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The dime is in a free fall motion under the influence of gravity. For the final velocity of the dime, we use 1st equation of motion here:

Vf = Vi + gt

where,

Vf = Final Velocity = ?

Vi = Initial Velocity = 0 m/s (Since, the initially the dime was at rest)

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

t = time taken = 10 s

Therefore, using these values, we get:

Vf = 0 m/s + (9.8 m/s²)(10 s)

Vf = 98 m/s
