Question

WILL MEDAL


You are standing on a ladder helping with some repairs at home. You drop a hammer and it hits the floor at a speed of 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.
A 8.0 feet
B 2.0 feet
C 1.0 feet
D 16.0 feet

Answer 1

@Michele_Laino

Answer 2

\[\sqrt{2*32*h}=8\]

h=1.0 feet

Answer 3

because:
\[2*32*h=64\]

Answer 4

so C.
