Neglecting air resistance, what is the speed (in m/s) of an object just before striking the ground if it was dropped at rest and fell for 1.5 seconds?
Added by Taylor S.
Step 1
We know the object was dropped at rest, so its initial velocity (u) is 0 m/s. Show more…

An object is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 25 m/s. How much time passes before it comes back down at 15 m/s? (Air resistance is negligible.)

An object is projected from the surface of the earth with a speed of 1.77×10^4 m/s. What is its speed when it is very far from the earth? (Neglect air resistance.)

A body falls in a medium offering resistance proportional to the speed at any time. If the limiting speed is 15 m/s and if the body attains half that speed in 1 sec, what was the initial speed?
