Question

You drop a ball at 27 feet high. How long will it take for the ball to hit the ground?

Answer 1

Ball will hit the ground after a time of 1.296 s

Step-by-step explanation:

initial velocity of ball= Vi=0

g= 9.8 m/s²

height =h= 27 ft=8.23 m

using the kinematic equation

h= Vi t + 1/2 gt²

8.23=0(t) + 1/2 (9.8)t²

t²=1.6796

t=1.296 s
