Question

An egg is dropped from a building that is 61 m high.

Need initial and final velocity and time and delta

Answer 1

Initial Velocity = 0 m/s

Final Velocity = 34.6 m/s

time = 3.5 s

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial velocity must be zero since, the egg must be at rest initially, before dropping.

Initial Velocity = 0 m/s

Now, for time we use 2nd equation of motion:

h = Vi t + (1/2)gt²

where,

h = Height = 61 m

Vi = Initial Velocity = 0 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

t =time = ?

Therefore,

61 m = (0 m/s)(t) + (1/2)(9.8 m/s²)t²

t² = (61 m)(2)/(9.8 m/s²)

t = √(12.45 s²)

t = 3.5 s

Now, for final velocity we will use 1st equation of motion:

Vf = Vi + gt

Vf = 0 m/s + (9.8 m/s²)(3.5 s)

Vf = 34.6 m/s
