Answer:

t = 2 s

Explanation:

In order to find the time taken by the stone to fall from the top of the building to the ground we can use 2nd equation of motion. 2nd equation of motion is as follows:

s = Vit + (0.5)gt²

where,

t = time = ?

Vi = Initial Velocity = 20 m/s

s = height of building = 60 m

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

60 m = (20 m/s)t + (0.5)(9.8 m/s²)t²

4.9t² + 20t - 60 = 0

solving this quadratic equation we get:

t = -6.1 s   (OR)   t = 2 s

Since, the time cannot be negative in magnitude.

Therefore,

<u>t = 2 s</u>
