Sol. u = 28 m/s, v = 0, a = –g = –9.8 m/s2 (a) S = (V^2-u^2)/2a = (0^2-〖28〗^2)/(2 (9.8)) = 40 m (b) time t = (v-u )/a = (0-28)/(- 9.8) = 2.85 t' = 2.85 – 1 = 1.85 v’ = u + at’ = 28 – (9.8) (1.85) = 9.87 m/s. ∴ The velocity is 9.87 m/s. c) No it will not change. As after one second velocity becomes zero for any initial velocity and deceleration is g = 9.8 m/s2 remains same. Fro initial velocity more than 28 m/s max height increases.
