a ball that is dropped from a window hits the ground in 7 seconds. how high is the window? (give your answer in feet; note that the acceleration due to gravity is 32 ft/s.)

Answers

Answer 1

The ball was dropped from a window that is 784 feet high. To determine the height of the window from which the ball was dropped, we can use the formula for free fall: h = 0.5 * g * t²


The formula for free fall is :  h = 0.5 * g * t² ,

where h is the height, g is the acceleration due to gravity (32 ft/s²), and t is the time it takes to hit the ground (7 seconds).

Given below the steps to calculate how high the window is :

Plug in the values to the equation:
h = 0.5 * 32 * (7²)Calculate the square of the time
7² = 49Multiply the values
h = 0.5 * 32 * 49Calculate the height
h = 16 * 49
h = 784 feet

So, the ball was dropped from a window that is 784 feet high.
