drop a ball from a height of 1.5 meters. Calculate its seed when it hits the floor
Is Keith really your subject?
Do balls have seeds?
time to hit floor:
1.5 = 4.9t^2
t = .55
v = at = 9.8*.55 = 5.42 m/s
To calculate the speed of the ball when it hits the floor, we can use the equation for the final velocity of an object in free fall:
v = √(2 * g * h)
Where:
v = final velocity (speed) of the ball
g = acceleration due to gravity (approximated as 9.8 m/s²)
h = height from which the ball is dropped (in this case, 1.5 meters)
Now, let's substitute the values into the equation:
v = √(2 * 9.8 * 1.5)
v = √(29.4)
v ≈ 5.42 m/s
Therefore, the speed of the ball when it hits the floor is approximately 5.42 m/s.
