An object is released from a plane at an altitude of 1600 ft. The initial velocity is 0 ft/s. How many seconds later will the object hit the ground?
:
Use the formula , where d is the distance in feet, v is the initial velocity in feet per second, and t is the time in seconds
:
d=1600, v=0
-time is meaningless so go with +.
The object will hit the ground in 10 s.
Happy Calculating!!!
