Let be the height of the building and thus the initial height of the ball. The ball's altitude at time is given by
where is the acceleration due to gravity.
The ball reaches the ground when after . Solve for :
so the building is about 16 m tall (keeping track of significant digits).
Answer:
Because it is being stopped by another person
Explanation:
The distance that a car travels down the interstate can be calculated with the following formula:
Distance = Speed x Time
(A) Speed of the car, v = 70 miles per hour = 31.29 m/s
Time, d = 6 hours = 21600 s
Distance = Speed x Time
D = 31.29 m/s × 21600 s
D = 675864 meters
or
(b) Time, d = 10 hours = 36000 s
Distance = Speed x Time
D = 31.29 m/s × 36000 s
D = 1126440 meters
or
(c) Time, d = 15 hours = 54000 s
Distance = Speed x Time
D = 31.29 m/s × 54000 s
D = 1689660 meters
or
Hence, this is the required solution.
