A clam dropped by a seagull takes 3.0 seconds to hit the ground. What is the seagull's approximate height above the ground at th
ankoles [38]
<h2>The seagull's approximate height above the ground at the time the clam was dropped is 4 m</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²  

        Time, t = 3 s      

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      s = 0 x 3 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 3²

                      s = 44.145 m

The seagull's approximate height above the ground at the time the clam was dropped is 4 m
