Question 1104932: I dropped a ball off a three story balcony. We know that objects in freefall follows the equation for height h, in meters
h = -49 t^2 + c, where t is in time in seconds, and c is the initial height. A student timed the drop at 1.48 seconds.
Use this to determine the height from which the ball was dropped, to at least
2 decimal places. Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! h = -49 t^2 + c
------
It's 4.9t^2, not 49 (on Earth).
============
h(t) = 4.9t^2 using distance from the top as positive.
Sub 1.48 for t
