Question

A 10. kg book bag is dropped from a height of 2.0 m. The speed of the book just before it hits the floor is A. 9.8 m/s B. 6.3 m/s C. 0 m/s D. 49 m/s

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Step-by-step explanation:

Generally from kinematic equations

`v^2 = u^2 + 2 gs`

Here u is the initial velocity with a value 0 m/s this because before the bag was dropped it was at rest

s is the height and g is the acceleration due to gravity

So

`v^2 = 0^2 + 2 * 9.81 * 2`

=>
`v = 6.3 \ m/s`
