a. -9.8m/s^2
b. d=vi*t+ 1/2 at^2=-7.56*t-4.96t^2
From the top of a cliff, a person uses a slingshot to fire a pebble straight downward, which is the negative direction. The initial speed of the pebble is 7.56 m/s. (a) What is the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the pebble during the downward motion? (b) After 0.950 s, how far beneath the cliff top is the pebble?
