Aplant box falls from the windowsill 25.0 m above the sidewalk and hits the cement 3.0 s later. what is the box's velocity when it hits the ground? 24 m/s 22 m/s 120 m/s

22m/s

Explanation:

To find the velocity we employ the equation of free fall: v²=u²+2gh

where u is initial velocity, g is acceleration due to gravity h is the height, v is the velocity the moment it hits the ground, taking the direction towards gravity as positive.

Substituting for the values in the question we get:

v²=2×9.8m/s²×25m

v²=490m²/s²

v=22.14m/s which can be approximated to 22m/s
