An object is thrown vertically upward at 27.1 m/s. the velocity of the object 3.4 seconds later is m/s. round your answer to the nearest tenth. do not use scientific notation. take up as positive and down as negative.

-6.2 m/s (downward)

Explanation:

The velocity of an object thrown vertically upward is given by:

where:

u is the initial velocity

a = g = -9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time

In this problem,

u = 27.1 m/s

t = 3.4 s

So, the velocity after 3.4 s is

and the negative sign means the velocity points downward.

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
