Final answer:

The height of the balcony from which a flowerpot falls can be calculated using the formula h = ½gt² with g being the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²) and t being the time taken to fall (3.5 seconds). The calculated height is approximately 60.025 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the height of the balcony from which a flowerpot falls, we can use the second equation of motion that relates height (h), gravity (g), and time squared (t²). The equation is:

h = ½gt²

We know the acceleration due to gravity (g) is approximately 9.8 m/s² and the time (t) the flowerpot takes to reach the ground is 3.5 seconds.

Plugging the values into the equation:

h = ½ × 9.8 m/s² × (3.5 s)²

h = 4.9 m/s² × 12.25 s²

h = 60.025 m

So, the height of the balcony is approximately 60.025 meters.

Answer:

The height is : 60.025 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The flowerpot falls off the balcony with zero launch angle

Given the time of fright as 3.5 s then ;

The formula to apply is ;


T=\sqrt{(2H)/(g) }\\\\3.5=\sqrt{(2H)/(9.8) }

3.5²= 2H/9.8

12.25 =2H/9.8

12.25 * 9.8 = 2H

120.05 = 2H

120.05/2 = H

60.025 =H
