Question 732104
A construction worker drops a hammer from a height of 50 feet. After how many seconds will the hammer land on the ground? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
***
Equation for falling objects: t=&#8730;(2y/g), t=time in seconds, y=displacement, g=gravity=32ft/sec^2
t=&#8730;(2*50)/g))=&#8730;(100/32)=1.77  (ans B)
After how many seconds will the hammer land on the ground? 1.77 sec  (ans B)
