You throw a ball downward from a window at a speed of 1.7 m/s. How fast will it be moving when it hits the sidewalk 2.5 m below?

7.43m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity = 1.7m/s

Height  = 2.5m

Unknown:

Final velocity  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply one of the motion equation. The most fitting one given the parameters is;

           V²  = U² + 2gh

where V is the final velocity

           U is the initial velocity

          g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s

           h is the height

Input the parameters and solve;

    V² = 2.5² + 2(9.8)(2.5)

    V = 7.43m/s

the body's situation won't change the forces are equal opposit and on the same body

the working equation for the angular size is the product of the physical size and 360 degrees divided by the product of two pi and distance from earth. the minimum size would be 0.559 degrees while the maximum size would be 0.49 degrees.
