Question 121078: 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. Find the time required
for an object to fall to the ground from a building that is 800 ft high.
Science and medicine. Find the time required for an object to fall to the ground
from a building that is 1400 ft high. (Use the formula found in above problem)

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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
