During a free fall Swati was accelerating at -9.8m/s2. After 120 seconds how far did she travel? Use the formula =1/2 * t2 to solve your answer

Respuesta :

It is given that the acceleration due to gravity is [tex]g=-9.8m/s^2[/tex]

We know that the formula for the distance of a falling object is given as:

Distance=[tex]-\frac{1}{2}\times g\times t^2[/tex] Where the negative sign depicts just the fall from up to down.

Therefore, after 120 seconds the distance Swati will travel is given as:

[tex]Distance=-\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times 120^2=70560[/tex] meters

This is equivalent to 70.56 kilometers.
