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

Respuesta :

Answer:

She traveled 70560 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Acceleration (g) =   [tex]-9.8m/s^{2}[/tex]

Time : 120 seconds .

To Find : Distance traveled

Solution:

Since we are given that there is a free fall .

So, we will use the formula:   [tex]d=\frac{1}{2} gt^{2}[/tex]

Now put the given values in the formula :

⇒[tex]d=\frac{1}{2}*(-9.8)*(120)^{2}[/tex]

⇒[tex]d=\frac{1}{2}*(-9.8)*14400[/tex]

⇒[tex]d=\frac{-141120}{2}[/tex]

⇒[tex]d=-70560[/tex]

Negative sign shows the direction only.

Hence she traveled 70560 m.
