An egg falls from a nest at a height of 4m. What speed will it have when it is 1m from the ground? Neglect air resistance and take g as 9.8m/s^2

7.66 m/s

Explanation:

This situation is related to free fall (vertical motion). Hence, this can be considered a one-dimension problem and we can use the following equation:

Where:

is the final velocity of the egg at the asked height

is the initial velocity of the egg

is the acceleration due gravity

is the distance at which the egg is from the nest, when it is from the ground

Isolating :

Substituting the known values:

This is the final velocity of the egg
