5) A present falls out of Santa's sleigh and falls 2,500 meters to Earth. A) How much time did it fall through the air? B) What is its final velocity?

(a) The time of fall is 22.59 s

(b) The final velocity of the present before it hits the ground is 221.38 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

height of fall, h = 2500 m

(A) The time of fall is given as;

(B) The final velocity of the present before it hits the ground is given as;

v = u + gt

where;

u is the initial of fall = 0

v = 0 + (9.8 x 22.59)

v = 221.38 m/s

compass can be used day and night, cloudy or sunny
