Answer:
2.48 m/s
Explanation:
We can use the kinematic equation,
s = ut +½at²
Where
s = displacement
u = initial velocity
t = time taken
a = acceleration
Using the equation in vertical direction,
321 = 0×t +½×g×t², u = 0 because initial vertical velocity is 0
We get t = 8.01 s
Using the equation in the horizontal direction,
52 = u×8.01 +½×0×(8.01)²,. a = 0 because no unbalanced force act on object in that direction
So u = 2.48 m/s
