how loing will it take a falling rock, accelerating at 9.8 m/s2, to reach 112 m/s, if it starts from rest?

Using

 

Vf  = Vi  -9.8t       where Vi  is the initial velocity  [ = 0]   and Vf is the final velocity = -112m/s

 

So we have

 

-112 = -9.8t         divide both sides by -9.8

 

-112 / -9.8   = t  ≈  11.429 s

 

 

cool cool cool
