Sarah is demonstrating the gravitational force on falling objects to her class. she drops an 11 lb. bowling ball from the top of the science building. determine velocity of the bowling ball after falling for 3.0 seconds assuming it has reach free fall and given the gravitational acceleration of 9.8 m2/sec.
a. 3.3 m/sec
b. 15 m/sec
c. 29 m/sec
d. 44 m/sec

C. 29 m/s

Basing on the information given, we can compute for the velocity with the following
Mass = 11 lb. convert to kg = 5 kg
Gravity = 9.8 m/s2
Time (final) = 3.0 s

v= at
v =  9.8m/s2(3.0s) 
= 29.4 m/s
Thank you for your question. Please don't hesitate to ask in your queries.

\boxed {\boxed {\sf a= 5 \ m/s^2}}

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in speed over time.

a=\frac{ v_f-v_i}{t}

The object accelerates from 0 meters per second to 25 meters per second in 5 seconds.

v_f= 25 \ m/s\\v_i= 0 \ m/s \\t= 5 \ s

Substitute the values into the formula.

a=\frac{ 25 \ m/s -0 m/s }{ 5 \ s}

Solve the numerator.

a=\frac{25 \ m/s}{5 \ s}

Divide

a= 5 \ m/s/s= 5 \ m/s^2

The object's acceleration is 5 meters per square second.
