Answer:

<em>1.43 s.</em>

Explanation:

Using one of the equations of motion,

S = ut + 1/2gt².......................... Equation 1

Where S = height of the cliff, u = initial velocity, t = time, g = acceleration due to gravity.

<em>Note: When the rock begins to fall from the maximum height, u = 0 m/s, g = positive</em>

<em>Given: S = 10 m, u = 0 m/s</em>

<em>Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation,</em>

<em>10 = 0(t) + 1/2(9.8)(t²)</em>

<em>10 = 0 + 4.9t²</em>

<em>t² = 10/4.9</em>

<em>t² = 100/49</em>

<em>t = √(100/49)</em>

<em>t = 10/7</em>

<em>t = 1.43 s.</em>

<em>Thus the rock spend 1.43 s in air</em>

Newton began his academic career in 1667. For how long was he a working scientist? Was he a very productive scientist?

Newton's 3 laws are...

inertia: things tend to continue to do what they are doing.

Change: to make something change you need a force to change it. the force needed = the mass times its acceleration

<span> Resistance: When you push on something, it pushes back.
