Question

Given that the confetti is going to be dropped from 25 feet up and land on a person who is about 6 feet tall, use the correct formula (solved for t) from the chart above to find out how long the actor should hold her position before moving on

Answer 1

1.09 seconds

Explanation:

I need the image that I am going to attach to solve the exercise.

We have the following information:

Confetti height from the ground is 25 feet

Person's height is 6 feet

So, the distance that the confetti would fall would be the subtraction of these heights, that is:

25-6 = 19 feet

d = 19 feet

We use the 5th equation of the attached image:

t = d ^ (1/2) / 4

replacing:

t = 19 ^ (1/2) / 4

t = 1.09 seconds
