Aball is dropped from rest at a height of 80 m above the ground. what is the speed just as it hits the ground?

Δx=Vi(t)+.5at²
Δx=80
a=9.8
Vi=0 since its from rest, the initial velocity is 0.
80=0+.5(9.8)t²
t=16.33
You can use one of the big five equations: Vf=Vi+at
Vf=0+9.8(16.33)
Vf=160.034 m/s

Iread this book last year so take this with a grain of salt.gene jumps from the tree to compete with finny due to the fact that gene is always trying to do better than finny. he is put under the grasp of peer pressure due to finny almost forcing him to do this. ever since he first jumped finny kept pressuring him to jump since he thought gene enjoyed jumping.rather than uses this answer you should probably just reread chapters 3-4

A) acceleration. this seems to be the one that makes sense.
