Answer:
12.68 m/s.
Explanation:
Equations of motion:
i. S = vi*t + 1/2 * a*(t^2)
ii. vf = vi + a*t
iii. vf^2 = vi^2 + 2a*S
Where, vf = final velocity
vi = initial velocity
S = distance travelled
a = acceleration due to gravity
t = time taken
Given:
vi = 0 m/s
S = 8.2 m
vf = ?
a = 9.81 m/s^2
Using iii. Equation of motion,
vf^2 = vi^2 + 2a*S
= 2 * 9.81 * 8.2
= 160.884
vf = sqrt (160.884)
= 12.68 m/s.
