The roof of the Terminal Tower is 709 feet above ground. A window washer dropped a bucket from the edge of the roof. How many seconds did it take for the bucket to hit the ground? Round to the nearest second

6.64 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Distance between roof of the terminal and ground = 709 feet

A bucket was dropped from the roof.

To find:

The time taken by the bucket to hit the ground?

Solution:

Distance traveled, = 709 feet

Initial velocity of the bucket, = 0 feet/sec (because initially it was at rest)

Acceleration of the bucket will be equal to acceleration due to gravity i.e.

or 32.1741

Let the time taken is seconds.

Formula for distance is given as:

Putting all the values:

answer: the answer is e
