In a game, a player character jumps from a platform with an initial vertical velocity of 5 m/s. If the acceleration due to gravity is -9.8 m/s^2, what is the character's velocity after 2 seconds?

A
-19.6 m/s
💡 Explanation:
Using the equation of motion: v = u + at, where u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, and t is the time, we can calculate the velocity after 2 seconds: v = 5 m/s + (-9.8 m/s^2) * 2 s = -19.6 m/s.
