Answer:

The speed of Alessandra's motion is 2 ft/s up.

(C) is correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Time = 1 sec

Height = 2 feet

We need to calculate the speed of Alessandra's motion

Using formula of speed


v=(d)/(t)

Where, v = speed

d = height

t = time

Put the value into the formula


v=(2)/(1)


v=2\ ft/s

The direction will be up ward.

Hence, The speed of Alessandra's motion is 2 ft/s up.

(C) is correct option.
