Question

a trapeze artist misses the trapeze and falls into the net 9.2 meters below, how long will it take him to fall?

Answer 1

gravity is 9.8 meters per second. It's a 9.2 mile fall. so just divide the two and you get 0.9388 seconds. 

Answer 2

By using the formula of free fall equation:

`s = (1)/(2)gt^(2)`

where,

`s` is height

`g` is acceleration due to gravity =
`9.8 ms_2`

`t` is time

`s = 9.2 m` (given)

Substituting the values in the above equation:

`9.2 m = (1)/(2)9.8 ms^(2) * t^(2)`

`t^2 = 1.877`

`t = \sqrt{1.877 s^(2)}`

`t = 1.37 s`

Hence, trapeze will take
`t = 1.37 s` to fall.
