Problema Solution

Neglecting air resistance, the distance in feet traveled by a falling object is given by the function s(t)= 16t*t. A building is 2717 feet tall. How long would it take an object to fall to the ground from the top of the building

Answer provided by our tutors

D=16t^2

2717=16t^2

169.8125=t^2

13.0312=t

 

It will take 13.0312 seconds for the object to fall to the ground.
