A ball is thrown straight down with an initial velocity of 5m/s. Ignoring air resistance, how far does it fall in 3 seconds? (Take g=10 m/s2)
To calculate the distance the ball falls in 3 seconds with an initial velocity of 5 m/s, we can use the kinematic equation:
Where:
d = distance fallen (meters)
v0 = 5 m/s (initial velocity)
g = 10 m/s²
t = 3 seconds
Substituting the values:
