The round trip took the beanbag 2.2 s which means that moving up and down will take it only 1.1s, respectively.
a. The distance covered by the beanbag is calculated through the equation,
d = 0.5gt²
where d is distance, g is the acceleration due to gravity and t is time. Substituting the known values,
d = 0.5(9.8)(1.1²) = 5.929 m
b. The initial velocity is calculated through the equation,
v = gt
Substituting the known values,
v = (9.8 m/s²)(1.1 s)
v = 10.78 m/s
