Question

Wil-E-Coyote drops a bowling ball off a cliff to try to catch the Roadrunner. The cliff is

Answer 1

Answer:

t = 5.19 s

Explanation:

We have,

Height of the cliff is 132 m

It is required to find the time taken by the ball to fall to the ground. Let t is the time taken. So, using equation of kinematics as :

$y=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\\text{since}\ u=0\\\\y=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2y}{g}}\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 132}{9.8}}\\\\t=5.19\ s$

So, it will take 5.19 seconds to fall to the ground.
