Question

A rock is thrown straight down with an initial velocity of 14.3 m/s from a cliff. What is the rock's displacement after 2.0 s?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Initial velocity (u) = - 14.3 ms(here negative sign shows the downwards direction of initial velocity)Acceleration due to gravity (g) = - 9.8ms2time (t) = 2 seconds
