Answer:

  • 44.7 units of time

Explanation:

Note: It seems the question is wrong when it states the relationship of distance. If d is the distance from the ground, at t = 0, we get d = 0 too which means with no time spent, Math Man hits the ground.

It assumed d = t²*0.25 is the distance from the top of the building.

We know the height of the building is 500 meters.

We need to find the value of t, when d = 500 m:

  • 0.25t² = 500
  • t² = 500/0.25
  • t² = 2000
  • t = √2000
  • t = 44.7 units of time (assumed seconds)
