Free fall kinematics

Percy threw a penny straight down off the Empire State building. The building is 354 m tall. If he threw the penny down such that it left his hand at 35 m/s, what is the acceleration of the penny? What will the velocity of the coin that Percy threw be when it hits the pavement?

Answer:

90.4 m/s

Explanation:

Take down to be positive.  For objects in free fall, the acceleration is 9.8 m/s².

Given:

Δy = 354 m

v₀ = 35 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find:

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

v² = (35 m/s)² + 2 (9.8 m/s²) (354 m)

v = 90.4 m/s
