Problema Solution
The Formula S=16t^2 is used to approximate the distance S, in feet, that an object falls freely from rest in t seconds. The height of a building is 1312 feet. How long would it take for an object to fall from the top?
The object would fall for ? seconds.
Answer provided by our tutors
S = 1,312 ft
t = the time of the fall, t>0
S=16t^2
16t^2 = 1312
by solving we find:
t = 9.06 sec
