Question 98

A scientific sensor probe is released from rest from a stationary research balloon in the atmosphere of an exoplanet.

The probe falls vertically under gravity.

Calculate the distance the probe has fallen when its velocity reaches 12 m/s.

Use the equation:

v2−u2=2as v^2 - u^2 = 2as v2−u2=2as

Assume the acceleration due to gravity on this planet is a=4.8 m/s2a = 4.8\text{ m/s}^2a=4.8 m/s2.
