if an object is dropped from rest 5m aboue the ground, what will its speed be just before it hits the ground
Added by Alexandra W.
Step 1
The object is dropped from a height (h) of 5 meters, and it starts from rest, so the initial velocity (u) is 0 m/s. The acceleration due to gravity (g) is approximately 9.81 m/s². Show more…
