If rock at rest falls off a cliff and hits the valley below after 3.5 seconds what is the rocks velocity as it hits the ground?

The final velocity of a falling object can be worked out by the use of the formula a = (v - u)/t a = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m.s-2 v = final velocity = unknown u = initial velocity = 0 t = time taken = 3.5s Factor these known values into our equation 9.8 = (v - 0)/3.5 rearrange the formula to workout the unknown value v = 9.8 x 3.5 Final velocity on impact with valley floor = 34.3 m.s-1 with a downwards direction

Below is the rule for calculating the velocity of a falling object Use this rule to calculate the rate expressed in feet per second that a piano dropped 5 seconds ago is falling?
160 feet per second
How is acceleration measuered?
You can measure acceleration by using this formula below. vf= final velocity vi= initial velocity t=time a=accelration vf-vi/time
What is the quantity which is measured by the area occupied below the velocity - time graph?
Distance travelled (displacement). Distance = velocity/time, so velocity * time = distance. Likewise, x = dv/dt so the integral of velocity with respect to time (area under the graph) is x, the distance travelled.
How long will it take a shell fired from a cliff at an inital velocity of 800ms at an angle of 30 below the horizontal to reach the ground 150m below?
H = H0 + V0T + 1/2 G T2H0 = 150 mV0 = -800 sin(30) = -400 m/sG = -9.8 m/s2We want 'T' when H=0 .0 = 150 - 400 T - 4.9 T2T = [ 400 ± sqrt(160,000 + 2,940) ] / -9.8T = -82.01 secT = 0.3733 secThe physically meaningful root isT = 0.3733 seconds (rounded)
What is the definition of negative velocity?
Observe that the object below moves in the negativedirection with a changing velocity. An object which moves in the negative direction has a negative velocity. If the object is speeding up then its acceleration vector is directed in the same direction as its motion (in this case, a negative acceleration).
How fast was the wind velocity on the ground below the center of the explosion miles per hour?
Depends on the nature of the explosion, the height of the explosion.
Why is it that a cat falls from a 50 storie building will hit a safety net below no faster than it fell from a 20th story?
It reaches terminal velocity. The speed is limited by the air resistance of the object. In most cases, terminal velocity is reached in a few seconds.

A Swede grows below ground.
What are hollows?
I have hollows in my face, just below the cheekbones. But it could also mean a low-lying area of ground, like a shallow valley or glen. See the related link, listed below, for more information:

When pecos bill finnaly fell off the tornado what did he create?
Pecos Bill created Death Valley in California when he finally fell off the tornado. He hit the ground so hard, it sank below sea level and created Death Valley.
