Please Aspa
please help with number one and also convert 140km/hr to m/s because my teacher wants that
I am doing a free-fall experiment for Physics and I need to make a position vs. time graph using the average value of release heights that I obtained. Do you know how I would be able to find the values for the time and position graph? The average value of release height is 1.9720736 m.

- A landscape architect is planning an artificial waterfall in a city park. Water flowing at 1.70 m/s will leave the end of a horizontal channel at the top of a vertical wall h = 2.35 m high, and from there it will fall into a pool (Fig. P3.42). (a) Will the space behind the waterfall be wide enough for a pedestrian walkway?
