Answer:
13.72 m/s
Explanation:
Here, we are to determine the final velocity of the coconut. Applying first equation of free fall;
v = u + gt
where: v is the final velocity of the object, u is the initial velocity, g is the force of gravity and t is the time.
Since the coconut falls in the direction of gravity, then g = 9.8 m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex].
t = 1.4 s, u = 0 m/s
So that;
v = 0 + 9.8(1.4)
= 13.72
The coconut hits Chief Boolie's toe with a velocity of 13.72 m/s
