Question

Erika jumped off a cliff into the ocean while vacationing. How long did it take Erika to reach her maximum height?

a) 1 second
b) 2 seconds
c) 3 seconds
d) 4 seconds

Answer 1

Erika's maximum height cannot be determined from the information given.

Step-by-step explanation:

The time it takes for Erika to reach her maximum height can be determined using the kinematic equation for projectile motion. Since Erika jumped off a cliff into the ocean, she follows a vertical trajectory. The time to reach maximum height can be found using the equation:

t = V0y / g

Where V0y is the initial vertical velocity and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Since the question does not provide her initial velocity, we cannot determine the exact time it took for Erika to reach her maximum height. Therefore, the correct answer is not provided in the given options.
