Question
thumb_up100%
The heaviest watermelon weighed in at 159 kg (350.5 lbs.) and was grown by Chris Kent (USA) of Sevierville, Tennessee. Chris releases the watermelon from rest from the top of a 150.0m tall building by a small crane. We neglect air resistance. If needed, use 9.80 m/s2 for the magnitude of g. What is the time it takes to hit the ground after being released and what will be the final impact velocity when it hits the ground? Report answers to 3 sig figs.
