To solve the problem of calculating the speed with which a ball strikes the water after being dropped from a bridge, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Initial speed (u) = 0 m/s (since the ball is dropped) - Acceleration (a) = 10 m/s² (acceleration due to gravity) - Time (t) = 5 s (time taken to strike the water) ### Step 2: Use the equation of motion ...
