Question

Makenzie is getting ready for Halloween by sorting candy beside an open window. By accident, she drops a Snickers bar out the window, and before she can retrieve it a squirrel grabs the bar! If the snickers bar takes 0.808 seconds to fall from the window to the ground, how high was the window?

Answer 1

3.14 meters high.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the height of the window, we can use the formula for the distance an object falls due to gravity:

d = 1/2 * g * t^2

where d is the distance, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2), and t is the time it takes to fall.

In this case, we know that the Snickers bar took 0.808 seconds to fall. Plugging in these values, we get:

d = 1/2 * 9.8 m/s^2 * (0.808 s)^2

d = 3.14 meters

Therefore, the window was approximately 3.14 meters high.
