Answer:
38.87 m/s
Explanation:
Given that the ball is dropped from a height = 77 m
u = 0 m/s
s = 77 m
a = g = 9.81 m/s²
Applying the expression as:
[tex]v^2-u^2=2as[/tex]
Applying values as:
[tex]v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2as+u^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times 77+0^2}\\\Rightarrow v=38.87\ m/s[/tex]
The speed with which the ball hit the ground = 38.87 m/s
