Motion in a Straight Line · Motion in a straight line
From 18 m height above the ground a ball is dropped from rest. The height above the ground at which the magnitude of velocity is equal to the magnitude of acceleration (in the same set of units) due to gravity is m. (Take and neglect the air resistance)
We corrected a printing error in the original paper
Source printed “the magnitude of velocity equal to” (“is” missing).
