Consider a grey squirrel falling from a tree to the ground. Use a coordinate system in which positive is downward for this problem. a) Find the squirrel’s velocity, in meters per second, just before hitting the ground when it falls from a height of 1.3 m. Ignore air resistance. b) The squirrel softens its landing by bending its legs when it touches the ground, thereby stopping itself over a distance of 7.6 cm. Assuming a constant rate of deceleration, find the squirrel’s acceleration during this process, in meters per second squared.

True or false: If an object accelerates from rest covering 2.0m in 1.0s in the forwards direction then, even though its average velocity is 2.0m/s its instantaneous velocity (or vf in your equations) will be 4.0m/s at t=1.0s and its initial velocity (vi in your equations) will be 0.0m/s at t=0
