Answer:
25.8 m/s
Explanation:
Initial Velocity (u) =?
Final velocity before it starts to fall ; v = 0
Distance (S) = 34 meters
Using the relation :
v² = u² + 2aS
a = - 9.8 m/s²
0 = u² + 2(-9.8)(34)
0 = u² - 666.4
u² = 666.4
u = √666.4
u = 25.814724
Hence, vertical velocity when the rock leaves her hand is 25.8 m/s
