Neglecting air resistance, the distance s left parenthesis t right parenthesis in feet traveled by a freely falling object is given by the function s left parenthesis t right parenthesisequals16 t squared, where t is time in seconds. the height of a certain tower is 862 feet. how long would it take an object to fall to the ground from the top of the building?

Explanation:

It is given that, the height of a certain tower is 862 feet i.e to reach on the ground the object should travel, s = 862 feet

The distance traveled by a freely falling object is given by :

t = 7.34 seconds

So, the object will take 7.34 seconds to fall to the ground from the top of the building. Hence, this is the required solution.

compass can be used day and night, cloudy or sunny
