Free Fallin The acceleration due to gravity (g = -10 m/s^2)
Scenario: We dropped a ball off the top of Hoover Stadium yesterday. The time
for the ball to drop was 15 seconds. Answer the following questions.
1. What was the final velocity of the ball at 15 sec.?
the final velocity was 7 m/sec
2. What was the average velocity of the ball as it fell?
0+10=10/2=5
5 m/s
3. What was the total distance the ball travelled?
As far as it could go, because it rolled with its potential energy, dropping to
kinetic energy
4. What was the velocity of the ball at 10 seconds?
