Solution 15.4b
From Mechanics
\displaystyle \begin{align} & v=0 \text{ m}{{\text{s}}^{-1}} ,\quad a=\text{ }-\text{9}\textrm{.}\text{8} \text{ m}{{\text{s}}^{-2}},\quad s=\text{ 1}\textrm{.}\text{4 m} \\ & \\ & {{v}^{2}}={{u}^{2}}+2as \\ & {{0}^{2}}={{u}^{2}}+2\times (-9\textrm{.}8)\times 1\textrm{.}4 \\ & v=5\textrm{.}24\text{ m}{{\text{s}}^{\text{-1}}} \\ \end{align}
