If a pine cone falls from the top of a 96 foot tree, then how long does it take to reach the earth?
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "Neglecting air friction and using 32 ft/sec/sec as the gravity acceleration:
\n" ); document.write( "\"s+=+at%5E2%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"96+=+16t%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "t^2 = 6
\n" ); document.write( "t =~ 2.45 seconds
\n" ); document.write( "
