Question

A ball is droped from a height of 16m how much time will pass before the ball hits the ground​

Answer 1

Answer:

The time is 1.8s

Explanation:

The ball droped, will freely fall under gravity.

Hence we use free fall formula to calculate the time by the ball to hit the ground

$h= \frac{1}{2}g{t}^{2}$

Where h is the height from which the ball is droped, g is the acceleration due to gravity that acted on the ball, and t is the time taken by the ball to hit the ground.

From the question,

h=16m

Also, let take

$g = 9.8m{s}^{-2}$

By substitution we obtain,

$16= \frac{1}{2}\times 9.8{t}^{2}$

$\implies32=9.8{t}^{2}$

Diving through by 9.8

$\frac{32}{9.8}= \frac{ 9.8{t}^{2} }{9.8}$

$\implies{t}^{2} =3.265$

square root both sides, we obtain

$\implies t= \sqrt{3.265}$

$t=1.8s$
