A stone is dropped from a bridge and hits the pavement below in two seconds. What is the velocity of the stone when it hits the pavement?

A. 0.20 m/s
B. 19.6 m/s
C. 4.9 m/s
D. 9.8 m/s

Respuesta :

We have: a = v/t
Here, t = 2 s  [ Given ]
a = 9.8 m/s²  [constant value for earth system ]

Substitute their values into the expression:
9.8 = v/2
v = 9.8 × 2
v = 19.6 m/s

In short, Your Answer would be Option B

Hope this helps!

i just did the quiz and so the only 2 options that made logical sense would be B (19.6 m/s) or D (9.8 m/s) the reason someone could get confused between these two is because 19.6 divided by 2 is 9.8 m/s so for each second it will go down 9.8 m/s but since it wants to know the velocity it would be 19.6 m/s

hope this helps
