Answer:
<em>a) 3.6 ft</em>
<em>b) 12.4 ft</em>
Explanation:
Distance between mirrors = 6.2 ft
difference from from the mirror you face = 1.8 ft
a) you stand 1.8 ft in front of the mirror you face.
According to plane mirror rules, the image formed is the same distance inside the mirror surface as the distance of the object (you) from the mirror surface. From this,
your distance from your first "front" image = 1.8 ft + 1.8 ft = <em>3.6 ft</em>
b) The mirror behind you is 6.2 - 1.8 = 4.4 ft behind you.
the back mirror will be reflected 3.6 + 4.4 = 8 ft into the front mirror,
the first image of your back will be 4.4 ft into the back mirror,
therefore your distance from your first "back" image = 8 + 4.4 = <em>12.4 ft</em>

Explanation:
Hi there!
The equation of the height of a free-falling object at any given time, neglecting air resistance, is the following:
h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²
Where:
h = height of the object at time t.
h0 = initial height.
v0 = initial velocity.
g = acceleration due to gravity (-32.2 ft/s² considering the upward direction as positive).
t = time
Let´s supose that the object is dropped and not thrown so that v0 = 0. Then:
h = h0 + 1/2 · g · t²
We have to find the time at which h = 0:
0 = 470 ft - 1/2 · 32.2 ft/s² · t²
Solving for t:
-470 ft = -16.1 ft/s² · t²
-470 ft / -16.1 ft/s² = t²
t = 5.4 s
