Question 253254: An object dropped from the top of a building passed you on the fifth floor three seconds later. If the fifth floor is 98 ft from the ground, how tall is the building? Answer by JimboP1977(311) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! where g is the force of gravity at 32 feet per second squared.
So the building is 144 feet plus 98 feet which equals 242 feet.
