Question

What is the speed of a 3.75kg golden eagle after it has fallen freely from the rest through a distance of 15m

Answer 1

v = 17.14 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Mass of eagle is 3.75 kg

We need to find the speed of Eagle after it has fallen freely from the rest through a distance of 15m. We can use third equation of motion :

`v^2-u^2=2as`

u = 0 (at rest) a= g

`v^2=2gs\\\\v=√(2gs) \\\\v=√(2* 9.8* 15) \\\\v=17.14\ m/s`

so, the speed of the eagle is 17.14 m/s.
