Good Day
Problem:
Upton Chuck is riding the giant drop at Great America. If Upton free falls for 2.60 seconds, what will be his final velocity and how far will he fall?
Given Data:
Vi (initial velocity) = 0 m/s (at top)
Vf (final velocity) = unknown
t (time) = 2.60 seconds
a (acceleration) = 9.8 m/s²
Solution:
a= Vf-Vi/t, to solve Vf, we can use Vf = at +Vi
Vf = at +Vi
= 9.8 m/s² × 2.60 s + 0 m/s
= 25.48 m/s + 0 m/s
= 25.48 m/s
Solving for distance:
d = (Vf + Vi) / 2 × t
= 25.48 m/s / 2 × 2.60 s
= 33.124 m
Answer:
Final velocity is 25.48 m/s
Distance = 33.124 m
