Answer

0.38 m

Work Step by Step

We use the equation, $v=v_{0}+at$, Since,$v=0, v_{0}=-at$, Now, $x=v_{0}t+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$, $x=(-at)t+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$, $x=-\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$. $ \,\,\,\,\,Equation \,1$ $a=-60g=-60\times9.8=-588m/s^{2}$ Also, $t=36\times10^{-3}$ So, from Equation 1, $x=\frac{588}{2}\times(36\times10^{-3})^{2}$ $=0.38m$.
