A raindrop was 16meters above the ground, falling straight down at a constant velocity. It took the raindrop 2seconds to fall half the distance to the ground. What was the raindrop's velocity?



what is the answer

Sagot :

Answer is 4 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:-

Let :-

Constant velocity = v

Time (t) = 2 seconds

Height (h) = 16 metres

As the raindrop has constant velocity, we can write that :

[tex] \frac{h}{2} = vt[/tex]

Substituting the values, we get,

[tex] \frac{16}{2} = v \times 2[/tex]

[tex]8 = v \times 2[/tex]

[tex] \frac{8}{2} = v[/tex]

[tex]v = 4 \: m/s[/tex]

Therefore, the velocity of the raindrop is 4 m/s.
