Answer:
The velocity when it hits the ground = 35m/s
Explanation:
v = velocity when it hits the ground.
u = initial velocity = 0
g = acceleration due to gravity= 10m/s
t = time it takes to hit the ground = 3.5s
mass of the hammer is irrelevant in this case.
v = u + gt= gt
v = gt = 10 × 3.5 = 35m/s
The velocity when it hits the ground = 35m/s
