Question
Find the velocity of a TV dropped from a height of 200 meters at the moment it hits the
ground. Use Galileo's formula for distance and speed shown below, along with the gravity
constant. (Note that the distance is given in terms of meters.)
Height: s(t) = so + vot-
g = 9.8 m/s²
g = 32 ft/s²
or
Speed: v(t) = s'(t) = vo – gt

Expert Solution
Step 1

We have given  two formula  one of height and other is speed that is 

Height s(t) = s0+v0t-12gt2 ---------------- eq1 

The velocity is given as 

Speed v(t) = s'(t) = v0-gt v(t) = v0-gt   ---------- eq 2
