The equation for free fall at the surface of some planet (s in meters, t in seconds) is s=2.86t^2. How long does it take a rock falling from rest to reach a velocity of 25.1 m/s on this planet?

Respuesta :

The time taken by the rock will be 8.77 seconds.

What is speed?

Speed is defined as the ratio of the time distance traveled by the body to the time taken by the body to cover the distance.

Given that:-

The equation for free fall at the surface of some planet (s in meters, t in seconds) is s = 2.86t²

The time will be calculated by using the speed formula.

Speed = Distance \ Time

25.1   = 2.86t² \ t

t   =  25.1 / 2.86

t   =  8.77 seconds

Therefore the time taken by the rock will be 8.77 seconds.
