Question

The formula sequals16tsquared is used to approximate the distance​ s, in​ feet, that an object falls freely from rest in t seconds. the height of a building is 1180 feet. how long would it take for an object to fall from the​ top?

Answer 1

It would take 8.587 seconds

Explanation:

The equation used to approximate the distance is

S = 16*t^2

The height of a building is 1180 feet, this means

1180 = 16*t^2

t^2 = 1180/16

t^2 = 73.75

t = sqrt (73.75)

t = 8.587 s
