Question 896791: You are standing on a ladder, helping with some repairs at home. You drop a hammer and it hits the floor at a speed if 8 feet per second. If the acceleration due to gravity(g) is 32 feet/second^2,how far above the ground(h) was the hammer when you dropped it? use the formula v = √2gh Any help would be appreciated :-) Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! velocity(v) = square root(2gh)
8 = square root(2*32*h)
square both sides of =
64 = 64*h
h = 1 foot
