Can you write out the question please? :) Sorry, i don't see it on the paper
Answer:
3.9 seconds
Explanation:
Use constant acceleration equation:
y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²
where y is the final position,
y₀ is the initial position,
v₀ is the initial velocity,
a is the acceleration,
and t is time.
Given:
y = 0 m
y₀ = 15 m
v₀ = 15 m/s
a = -9.8 m/s²
Substituting values:
0 = 15 + 15t + ½ (-9.8) t²
0 = 15 + 15t − 4.9t²
0 = 4.9t² − 15t − 15
Solve with quadratic formula:
t = [ -b ± √(b² − 4ac) ] / 2a
t = [ 15 ± √((-15)² − 4(4.9)(-15)) ] / 2(4.9)
t = [ 15 ± √(225 + 294) ] / 9.8
t = (15 ± √519) / 9.8
t = -0.79 or 3.9
It takes 3.9 seconds for the stone to reach the bottom of the well.
The negative answer is the time it takes the stone to travel from the bottom of the well up to the top of the well.
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that,
Basket ball is drop from height
H=10m
It is dropped on planet mass
And the acceleration due to gravity on Mars is given as
g= 3.7m/s²
Time taken for the ball to reach the ground
Initial velocity of the body is zero
u=0m/s
Using equation of motion: free fall
H = ut + ½gt²
10 = 0•t + ½ × 3.7 ×t²
10 = 0 + 1.85t²
10 = 1.85t²
Then, t² =10/1.85
t² = 5.405
t = √ 5.405
t = 2.325seconds
So the time the ball spend on the air before reaching the ground is 2.325 seconds
