A pine cone fell 240 centimeters straight down at a constant velocity. It fell that distance in 2.5 seconds. What was its velocity?

1 answer

The velocity of the pine cone can be calculated by dividing the distance it fell (240 cm) by the time it took to fall (2.5 seconds).

Velocity = Distance / Time

Velocity = 240 cm / 2.5 seconds = 96 cm/s

Therefore, the velocity of the pine cone was 96 centimeters per second.
