Question

Manu was standing on a 245m high tower with a stop watch. He dropped a stonefrom the tower and noted that time taken by the stone to reach ground is 6seconds.Please give me the answer with steps!!!

Answer 1

The time taken for the stone to reach the ground is 7 s

Data obtained from the question

• Height (h) = 245 m
• Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

• Time (t) =?

How to determine the time

The time taken for the stone to reach the ground can be obtained as follow:

h = ½gt²

245 = ½ × 10 × t²

245 = 5 × t²

Divide both side by 5

t² = 245 / 5

t² = 49

Take the square root of both side

t = √49

t = 7 s

Thus, it will take the stone 7 s to reach the ground.
