Free fall reaches 216km per hour. What is rate in meters per second.? How many meters fall during 20 seconds free fall?

Respuesta :

Given,

Rate of free fall = 216 km/h

Solution,

km/h to m/s is converted as follows :

[tex]216\ \dfrac{km}{h}=216\times \dfrac{1000\ m}{3600\ s}\\\\=60\ m/s[/tex]

So, the rate of fall is 60 m/s.

If t = 20 s

Assume, initial velocity = 0

It will move under the action of gravity.

Using equation of motion,

[tex]h=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\h=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 10\times 20^2\\\\h=2000\ m[/tex]

Hence, this is all for the solution.
