It would take about 10 seconds for the object to fall to the ground from the top of the tower
<h3>How to determine the time spent by the object from the top of the tower to the ground?</h3>
From the question, we have the following function equation that can be used in our computation:
s(t) = 16t²
Also, from the question;
The height (h) of the tower is given as
h = 1503 feet
The object would hit the ground when the height of the tower equals the distance travelled
Mathematically, this can be represented as:
s(t) = h
So, we have
s(t) = 1503
Substitute s(t) = 1503 in s(t) = 16t²
16t² = 1503
Divide both sides by 16
This gives
t² = 93.9375
Take the square root of both sides and approximate
t = 10 seconds
Hence, the time taken is about 10 seconds
