When will the rocket hit the ground? 2007-04-05
From Megan:
A model rocket is launched at an upward velocity of 460feet per second off a platform that is 40 feet up from the ground.

Calculer la hauteur de chute de cette pierre 2000-12-16
From Marcus:
Une pierre tombe au fond d'un puit, ŕ 5 secondes on entend un son (de la pierre). Calculer la hauteur de chute de cette pierre en tenant compte de la vitesse du son = 340m.s-1

Il faut savoir que pour la chute libre v= g.t ; h = 1/2 g.t2 ; v = 2g.h

g intensité du champs de pesanteur = 10 ; h hauteur de chute.
