cheerspens said:The Attempt at a Solution
I started off with the following variable list:
Xo=0 Vo=25
X=0 V=0
t=? a=-9.8
Which seems very off to me.
When trying to solve I got 2.55 seconds. But is there another time where it reaches 20m?
How do you solve this?
Thanks!
The acceleration of an object in free fall is always equal to the acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.8 m/s².
The initial velocity of an object in free fall can be determined by measuring the speed at which the object was launched or dropped from a height.
The formula for calculating the distance traveled by an object in free fall is d = vi(t) + 1/2at², where vi is the initial velocity, t is the time, and a is the acceleration due to gravity.
Yes, the motion of an object in free fall can be affected by air resistance. Objects with a larger surface area or a lower density will experience more air resistance, which can slow down their descent.
The time of flight for an object in free fall can be calculated by using the formula t = √(2d/a), where d is the distance traveled and a is the acceleration due to gravity. In this case, the distance traveled is 20m and the acceleration is 9.8 m/s², so the time of flight would be approximately 2.04 seconds.
