Question

You are walking in Paris alongside the Eiffel Tower and suddenly a croissant falls on your head and knocks you to the ground. If you neglect air resistance, calculate how many seconds the croissant dropped before it knocked you over if the velocity is 76.4 m/s.

Answer 1

Answer:

7,79 seconds

Explanation:

${\displaystyle {\overline {a}}={\frac {\Delta v}{t}}}$

You need to use the acceleration formula. A is acceliration, $\displaystyle \Delta \mathbf {v}$ is change in velocity and t is time.

You  need to multiply the formula with t and divide by a and you get

a*t=$\displaystyle \Delta \mathbf {v}$

t= $\displaystyle \Delta \mathbf {v}$/a

after that you just need to insert the numbers

change in velocity is 76.4 minus 0.

acceliration is gravitational acceleration which is 9.81.

After that you get

t=76.4/9.81

t= 7,787971458 s
