Problema Solution
Getrude drops a screwdriver from the top of a tower that is 576 feet tall. How long will it take the srewdriver to fall to the ground below?
Answer provided by our tutors
The time needed to fall to the ground below = t
g = 32.15 ft/s^2
So the equation is
h = 1/2 g*t^2
t = sqrt(2h/g) = sqrt(2*576/32.15) = 5.99 s
So time needed to fall to the ground belowis 5.99 s
