1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data



A bolt is dropped from a bridge under construction, falling 83 m to the valley below the bridge. (a) How much time does it take to pass through the last 20 % of its fall? What is its speed (b) when it begins that last 20 % of its fall and (c) just before it reaches the ground?



2. Relevant equations







3. The attempt at a solution



For part (a) I got the correct answer of .436 seconds by doing 83/4.9=16.94, sqrt16.94=4.12

83 x .20 = 16.6

83-16.6=66.4

66.4/4.9=13.55

sqrt13.55=3.68

4.12-3.68=.436



That answer was correct but I need parts (b) and (c)
