Question 50

A small test capsule is launched vertically upwards from a platform with a velocity of 16 m/s. It then moves freely under gravity.

Ignore air resistance and use g=10 m/s2g=10\ \mathrm{m/s^2}g=10 m/s2.

Use the equations a=v−ut\displaystyle a=\frac{v-u}{t}a=tv−u​ and v2−u2=2axv^2-u^2=2axv2−u2=2ax.

Calculate the total distance travelled by the capsule during the first 3.0 s after launch.
