If a baseball is dropped from a skyscraper, what will its speed (velocity) be after 4.5 seconds (assuming no air resistance)?
Expert Solution
Step 1

let baseball is dropped with zero initial velocity

u=0

since there is no air resistance

a=g=9.8 m/s2

we have to calculate speed of baseball v after t=4.5 sec
