Question

How long does it take a ball weighing 87 grams to fall 5 meters

Answer 1

It takes 1.00 seconds for the ball to fall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mass of the ball = 87 grams

Height of the ball from which the ball is dropped = 5 meters

To Find:

Time Taken for the object to fall =?

Solution:

The Time taken for the ball to reach the ground can be calculated using the below formula

`Time = \sqrt {( 2 * (height )/(9.8))}`

Square root is taken because the longer the distance, faster the object will fall

Substituting the values,

`Time = \sqrt {( 2 * (5)/(9.8))}`

`Time = \sqrt {( 2 * 0.510)`

`Time = \sqrt {(1.02)`

Time = 1.00 seconds
