Question 309267: The CN Tower in Toronto, at 1815 ft, is the world’s tallest
self-supporting tower (no guy wires). How long would it
take an object to fall freely from the top?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The answer, of course, depends upon where the object stops. In this problem, we'll assume that the object falls to the ground.
Using the formula for the height of a freely-falling object as a function of time: where: , ft/sec-sq, the initial velocity of the object, and ft., the initial height of the object.
When the object reaches the ground, then , so.. and... seconds.
