Jamie dropped a water bottle from the top of an office building. The water bottle impacted the ground after falling for 5 seconds. Calculate the velocity of the water bottle at impact with the street below.

The speed of the water bottle at impact with the street is 49 m/s

Explanation:

Free Fall Motion

A free-falling object falls under the sole influence of gravity. Any object that is being acted upon only by the force of gravity is said to be in a state of free fall. Free-falling objects do not experience air resistance.

If an object is dropped from rest in a free-falling motion, it falls with a constant acceleration called the acceleration of gravity, which value is .

The final velocity of a free-falling object after a time t is given by:

vf=g.t

The water bottle dropped by Jamie takes t=5 seconds to impact the ground, thus its speed at that moment is:

vf= 9.8*5

vf =  49 m/s

The speed of the water bottle at impact with the street is 49 m/s

what experimental evidence led scientists to change from the previous model to this one?

a few of the positive particles aimed at a gold foil seemed to bounce back.

the colors of light emitted from heated atoms had very specific energies.

experiments with water vapor showed that elements combine in specific proportions.

cathode rays were bent in the same way whenever a magnet was brought near them.
