Final answer:

The ball will take approximately 2.10 seconds to fall.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the time it takes for a ball to fall from rest, we can use the equations of motion. In this case, the ball is moving downward, so we can use the equation


s = ut + (1/2)at^2,

where u is the initial velocity, t is the time, and a is the acceleration due to gravity. Since the initial velocity (u) is zero, the equation simplifies to


s = (1/2)at^2.

Plugging in the values, we have


44.0 = (1/2)(9.8)t^2.

Solving for t, we find that it takes approximately 2.10 seconds for the ball to fall.
