| Feb 5, 2021 at 15:31 | comment | added | Andrew | Ah, sorry for the partial message - I accidentally tapped return instead of shift return, but was plugging away at the formula, and came up with 2^0.5 s, and then re-did the calculations because I assumed I'd messed up, then just saw you had already responded to the comment! | |
| Feb 5, 2021 at 15:17 | comment | added | Nuclear Hoagie | @Andrew Yes, although there was an error in my math (the height should have been 20m, not 10m). After 2 seconds, the person is traveling at 20m/s, or an average speed of 10m/s over those 2 seconds. They fall 20m total in the 2 seconds. | |
