the Grand Canyon has the average death of 4000 ft with some sections going to 6000. If you drop an object from a Section 3300 above, how long (in seconds) will it take the object to hit the bottom?

the Grand Canyon has the average depth of 4000 ft with some sections going to 6000.

i.e. distance = 4000 ft

goind speed = 6000ft/sec

If the object is fall from the 3300 feet above the bottom

Thus total distance travelled by the object = 4000-3300

Distance travelled = 700 feet

Speed = Distance/Time

Substitute the value

6000=700/time

Time = 700/6000

Time= 0.116 second

Answer: it take the object to hit the bottom in 0.11 seconds
