Question

A

Answer 1

Answer:

The penny will hit the ground at 6.39 seconds

Explanation:

Free Fall

The penny is dropped from a height of y=200 m. The equation of the height on a free-fall motion is given by:

$\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}$

Where $g=9.8\ m/s^2$, and t is the time.

Solving for t:

$\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}}$

Using the value y=200:

$\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2*200}{9.8}}$

t=6.39 sec

The penny will hit the ground at 6.39 seconds
