Question

If confett is dropped from a scaffold from 25 ft and Ann is 6ft. How long will it take for confetti to fall on Ann if distanc is 16t²​

Answer 1

Answer: 0.8 seconds

Explanation:

We can use the formula:

distance = 1/2 × acceleration × time^2

where acceleration due to gravity is approximately 32.2 ft/s^2.

Let's solve for time:

distance = 16ft^2 = 4ft × 4ft

acceleration = 32.2 ft/s^2

initial velocity = 0 ft/s since the confetti is dropped from rest

final velocity = unknown

time = unknown

Using the formula, we can rearrange it to solve for time:

time = √(2 × distance / acceleration)

time = √(2 × 16ft^2 / 32.2 ft/s^2)

time ≈ 0.8 seconds

Therefore, it will take about 0.8 seconds for the confetti to fall on Ann.
