The time in seconds that it takes for an object to fall from
rest is given by t=1/4 (radical)s, in which s is the distance fallen.
:
This formula can be written:
t =
:
Find the time required for an object to fall to the ground from a building that is 800 ft high.
:
Substitute 800 for s in the above formula:
t =
t = ; found the square root of 800
t = 7.071 seconds to fall 800 ft

:
Substitute 1400 for s
t =
t =
t = 9.354 seconds to fall 1400 ft
