Given parameters:
Height = 44.8m
Time to drop = 1.49s
Unknown:
Speed of drop = ?
Solution:
The is a speed problem.
Speed is one of the physical quantities. It is designated a scalar because it has magnitude but no directional orientation.
Speed is the distance divided by time.
In this problem distance is the same as the height of the drop.
Mathematically;
Speed = [tex]\frac{distance}{time}[/tex]
So, input the parameters and solve;
Speed = [tex]\frac{44.8}{1.49}[/tex] = 30.1m/s
The drop recorded a speed of 30.1m/s
