Question

1. If I drop a watermelon from the top of one of the tower dorms at JMU, and it takes

3.50 seconds to hit the ground, how tall the building is in meters.
What is the acceleration of the watermelon as it falls?

Answer 1

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

The accelerateinon, a, of the watermelon is just the acceleration of gravity on Earth = 9.81 m/s^2

the height will be found by

Height = 1/2 a t^2 = 1/2 (9.81)(3.50)^2 = 60.1 m
