The answer is A. DOWN
Answer:
Correct answer: 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.
