    Spring toy fired on flat surface: speed and maximum height

    Thank you for catching my mistake! I forgot to square the values so this is what I got for part a now: 10=1/2(.5)v² v=6.32m/s

    Finding final speed of falling 200 kg object using kinematics

    Homework Statement A 200 kg object moves at 10 m/s at 20m (vertically). It falls to a height of 5 m. Find the new speed. Homework Equations vf²=vi²+2ad The Attempt at a Solution vf²=(10m/s)²+2(9.8m/s²)(15m) vf=19.8m/s To find the distance for the new speed I did 20-5, but I'm not sure it's...
