A ball is dropped from a tall building. the formula in the box relates the distance in meters {d} fallen to the time in seconds, {t}. d=4.9t if the ball falls for a total of 1.2 seconds before hitting the ground, approximately how tall is the building?



Answer :

The building is 5.88 units tall.

It is given that the ball is dropped from a tall building.

The formula in the box relates the distance in meters "d" fallen to the time in seconds "t".

The formula is given below :

d = 4.9*t

The ball falls for a total of 1.2 seconds before hitting the ground.

The ball will travel a distance in the time interval from when the ball is dropped until it hits the ground.

The time for which the ball travels the distance is 1.2 seconds.

The distance travelled by the ball is :

d = 4.9*t

d = 4.9*1.2

d = 5.88

Hence, the ball travels a distance of 5.88 after it is dropped from the top of the building and before hitting the ground.

The height of the building is equal to the distance calculated.

The height of the building is 5.88.
