Answer:
1.43 s
Explanation:
The time it takes for the container to reach the ground is determined only by the vertical motion of the container, which is a free-fall motion, so a uniformly accelerated motion with a constant acceleration of g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground.
The vertical distance covered by an object in free fall is given by
where
u = 0 is the initial vertical speed
t is the time
a= g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration
since u=0, it can be rewritten as
And substituting S=10.0 m, we can solve for t, to find the duration of the fall:
