Question

Use the formula t = (0.25) s1/2 to find the time t in seconds it will take a stone to drop a distance s of 200 feet. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a second.

Answer 1

Answer:

Time taken, t = 3.53 seconds

Explanation:

It is given that,

The formula for calculating the time t is given by :

$t=(0.25)s^{1/2}$...... (1)

Where

s is the distance in feets

We need to find the time taken by the stone to drop a distance of 200 feets, s = 200 feets

Put the value of s in equation (1) such that,

$t=(0.25)\times (200)^{1/2}$

t = 3.53 seconds

So, the time taken by the object is 3.53 seconds. Hence, this is the required solution.
