Answer:

0.09 s

Explanation:

From the second equation of motion,

S=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^{2}

Here, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration due to gravity, t is time taken, and S is the total displacement or distance.

From the given problem,

initial velocity is zero for both the case.

And the distance of twin  tower of malaysia is, S_{1}=452m

And the distance of Sears tower of Chicago is, S_{1}=443m

Now,rearrange the distance equation for t.

t=\sqrt{\frac{2S}{a} }

So time difference.

\Delta t=\sqrt{\frac{2(452)}{9.8} }-\sqrt{\frac{2(443)}{9.8} }\\\Delta t=\sqrt{92.244898}-\sqrt{90.4081633}  \\\Delta t=9.60 s-9.51s\\\Delta t=0.09 s

Therefore, the difference in time, object will reach the ground is 0.09 s

topjm [15]

Technically, I can't answer the question, because you won't
let me see the picture that goes along with it and is a part of it. 
But I'm familiar with the set-up, have dealt with the question before,
and I can answer it from my previous experience and general knowledge.

If there is 500g of mass inside the jar when you lower it over
the candle, then there will be 500g of mass at any time after that,
forever, or until you pick up the jar and take some mass out or put
some more in.  It doesn't matter how long you wait.  It also doesn't
matter whether or not the candle is burning, whether or not the sun
is shining on the jar, or whether somebody comes along and spray-paints
the outside of the jar with black paint.  Matter is not created or destroyed. 
Whatever mass was inside when the jar got closed stays in there.
