Question 1006876: The formula S=16t^2 is used to approximate the distance S, in feet that an object falls freely from rest in t seconds. The height of a building is 1075 feet. How long would it take for an object to fall from the top? Round your answer to the nearest tenth. Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
S=16t^2
S = 1075ft
1075 = 16t^2
t^2 = 1075/16
t = √1075/16
t = 8.2 seconds.
Hope this helps :-)
