Answer:
It will take 30 seconds to reach the ground, and it will be travelling at 294 m/s when it does so. This means that its average velocity was 147 m/s.
Explanation:
Since the initial velocity of a dropped object is 0, we can make this the equation:
The final velocity can be calculated with the formula:
Once again, since there is no initial velocity:
Since the initial velocity is 0, the average vertical velocity is 294/2=147 m/s.
Hope this helps!
