Question

1. A stone is dropped from the top of the tower and reaches the ground in 6 seconds. Find the height of the tower.​

Answer 1

176.4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the distance, the equation would be:

distance = acceleration X time² / 2

Assuming the stone is held at a complete stop before dropping, the acceleration would be equal to gravity which is 9.8m/s². So:

d = (9.8m/s²)( 6s)² / 2

= (9.8m/s²)(36s²) / 2

= 176.4 m
