During the final second of its fall, it traverses a distance of 38m. Determine h. I would like to know the solution but also maybe an explanation on how I would know what process to take.

I plugged it in to vf2 = vo2 + 2a(deltax), since I think that vf shouldn't change for h, but I got the wrong answer. Please explain.arrow_forward
