Question

A physics student drops a water balloon from an upstairs window. The window is 26.45 m

from the ground. How long does it take for the balloon to hit the ground? (Round to the
nearest tenth)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Distance S = 26.45m

Using the equation of motion

S = ut+1/2gt²

26.45 = 0+1/2(9.81)t²

26.45 = 4.905t²

t² = 26.45/4.905

t² = 5.392

t = 2.528s

Hence the it took the balloon 2.52s to reach the ground
