A 9kg bowling ball rolls off a table and strikes the ground. If the ball is in the air for 0.5 seconds, how fast is the ball moving when it hits the ground

vf = vo + at        vo = original velocity = 0     a = acceleration of gravity   9.8m/s^2   or 32.2 ft/s^2  (I'll use 9.8 m / s^2)

                            vf = final velocity

 

vf = 0 + 9.8   m/s^2 (.0.5 s)  =  4.9 m/s     (do you see how one of the s cancels??)
