Question

If a basketball takes 0.782 seconds to hit the ground when dropped from a height of 3 meters.

What will the velocity be of the basketball right before it hit the ground?

Answer 1

Answer: 2.346

Explanation: Multiply the time by the acceleration due to gravity to find the velocity when the object hits the ground. If it takes 9.9 seconds for the object to hit the ground, its velocity is (1.01 s)*(9.8 m/s^2), or 9.9 m/s.
