Answer:
-26 m/s.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, since the vertical initial velocity is 26 m/s and the vertical final velocity is 0 m/s at P, we compute the time to reach P:
[tex]t=\frac{0m/s-26m/s}{-9.8m/s^2} =2.65s[/tex]
With which we compute the maximum height:
[tex]y=26m/s*2.65s-\frac{1}{2}*9.8m/s^2*(2.65s)^2 \\\\y=34.5m[/tex]
Therefore, the final velocity until the floor, assuming P as the starting point (Voy=0m/s), turns out:
[tex]v_f=\sqrt{0m/s-(-9.8m/s^2)*2*34.5m}\\ \\v_f=-26m/s[/tex]
Which is clearly negative since it the projectile is moving downwards the starting point.
Regards.
