Problema Solution
A coin is dropped from the top of a wishing well. The distance from the top of the wishing to the bottom of the wishing well is 50 feet. How many seconds will it take the coin to reach the bottom of the wishing well? Use the formula d =16t^2 and round your answer to the nearest tenth of a second.
Answer provided by our tutors
we know that
d = 50 ft the distance
t = the time the coin needs to reach the bottom, t>0
d = 16t^2
16t^2 = 50
by solving we find:
t = 1.8 s
