A ball is dropped from rest on a cliff what is the speed of the ball 5 seconds later

The velocity of the ball after 5 seconds will be 49 m/s

Explanation:

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity

t = time

Initial velocity of the ball = 0 (As the ball is dropped from rest )

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s

Time taken = 5 sec

As the acceleration due to gravity is constant in both the cases we can use the equations of motion in order to solve this question

Part I :- As we already know the values of u,g,ant t we can use the first equation of motion in order to find v

Part II :- As we know the values of u, t , g we can use the second equation of motion in order to find s.
