Best Answer

Use the formula v2=u2+2*a*s

v=final velocity

u=intital velocity

a=acceleration due to gravity

s=displacement

This then gives:

2*9.8*5

=98

square root of 98

9.89ms-1

What is the smallest possible surface area of a right prism with a volume of 200 cm3?

Assuming you mean a rectangular prism, you get the smallest surface area if the prism is a cube. You can calculate the required length of side to get that volume; then, based on that, the corresponding surface area.

The weight of the body on the surface of the is 250N. calculate its weight at distance equal to half of radius of the earth below the surface of earth. (radius of earth6400km)?

This is hard to calculate precisely, due to the fact that Earth's density increases towards the center. However, you make a simplified calculation, by assuming a uniform density. Just calculate the ratio of the volume (and therefore, of mass) of a sphere which has half the radius of the Earth, and calculate the gravitational attraction (once again, you only need a ratio, compared to the complete Earth) on that object.
