One species of eucalyptus tree, Eucalyptus regnens, grows to heights similar to those attained by California redwoods. Suppose a bird sitting on top of one specimen of eucalyptus tree drops a nut. If the speed of the falling nut at the moment it is50.0m above the ground is42.7 m/s, how tall is the tree? Do you need to know the mass of the nut to solve this problem? Disregard air resistance.
a. 143m
b. 288m
c. 174m
d. 210m
