The CN tower in Toronto, at 1815 ft., is the world's tallest self-supporting tower (no guy wires).
write a equation if you were to drop a coin from the top
The acceleration of gravity 16t^2
h = -16t^2 + 1815; (t in seconds)
:
how long would it take a coin to fall to the ground?
h=0
-16t^2 + 1815 = 0
-16t^2 = -1815
16t^2 = 1815; mult both sides by -1
t^2 = 1815/16
t^2 = 113.4375
t =
t = 10.65 sec to hit the ground
:
what would the height of the coin be when time was 2 seconds?
Find how far it would fall in 2 seconds
h= 16(2^2)
h = 64ft
1815 - 64 = 1751 ft the height after 2 seconds
