A 1.4 kg coconut falls from rest out of a tree. The instant before it hits the ground, it has a velocity of 6.7 m/s. How high was the coconut initially?

Answer:

2.29m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the coconut  = 1.4kg

Final velocity  = 6.7m/s

Initial velocity  = 0m/s

Unknown:

Height of the coconut initially  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use one of the kinematics equation. The one given below is the best one to use.

   V²  = U²  + 2gH

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

H is the height

 So;

            6.7²  = 0²   + (2 x 9.8 x h)

           44.89  = 19.6h

                   h  = 2.29m
