Answer:
Vf = 44.27 m/s
Explanation:
When a ball is dropped it is acted upon by gravitational force under free fall motion. So, in order to find its final speed we use 2rd equation of motion, as follows:
2gh = Vf² - Vi²
where,
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
h = height lost = 100 m
Vf = Final Velocity = ?
Vi = Initial velocity = 0 m/s (Since, ball starts from rest)
Therefore,
(2)(9.8 m/s²)(100 m) = Vf² - (0 m/s)²
Vf = √(1960 m²/s²)
Vf = 44.27 m/s
