Mrs. Garcia is conducting an experiment in which students in her physics class drop eggs from the second story of the high school. She wants to know what the speed of each egg will be before the egg hits the ground. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s². a) Chris drops his egg and it hits the ground in 3.5 s. What is the speed of the egg before it hits the ground? Use the formula V₁ = V₁ + at, where V; is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time. b) From how high up did Chris drop his egg? Use the formula d = ½gt².
