Question 1092466: The formula s = 16tē is used to approximate the distance s, in feet, that an object falls freely
from rest in t seconds.
The tallest structure in the United States, at 2063 ft, is the KTHI-TV tower in North Dakota. How long would it take an object falling freely from the top to reach the ground?
