Me and Physics just aren't clicking unlike my other classes, so any place to find extra help would be great!

Answer 1

Answer:

-5.29 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

y₀ = 1.43 m

y = 0 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Find: v

v² = v₀² + 2a (y − y₀)

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2(-9.8 m/s²) (0 m − 1.43 m)

v = -5.29 m/s
