An object is thrown upwards with a velocity of 3 meters per second, such that the only force acting on it is gravity (acceleration is -9.8). What will the object's velocity be after 2 seconds?

A.) -16.6 meters per second (down)
B.) 16.6 meters per second (up)
C.) -22.6 meters per second (down)
D.) 22.6 meters per second (up)
E.) 3 meters per second (up)

Correct  A.)  V = - 16.6 m/s down

Explanation:

Given:

V₀ = 3 m/s  initial velocity

t = 2 seconds

g = 9.8 m/s²

V(t) = V(2) = ?

The movement described is a vertical upward shot

For velocity at any time is valid the next formula

V = V₀ - g · t

V = 3 - (9.8 · 2) = 3 - 19.6 = - 16.6 m/s down

Under condition that it has a enough drop height with respect to the ejection point.

d.7.5cm is your answer

increasing transnational kinetic energy. because the transnational kinetic energy formula consists of only two variables, mass and velocity, increasing one of those properties is the only way to increase an object's transnational kinetic energy. increases to mass and velocity, however, do not have the same impact.
