To determine the height from which Daniel free falls on the "Giant Drop" ride at Great America, we need to know the acceleration due to gravity. The standard value of acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 meters per second squared (m/s^2).
Using this acceleration value, we can use the kinematic equation for free-fall motion:
h = (1/2) * g * t^2
where h is the height, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and t is the time in seconds.
Plugging in the given values, we have:
h = (1/2) * 9.8 m/s^2 * (2.6 s)^2
= (1/2) * 9.8 m/s^2 * 6.76 s^2
≈ 33.428 meters
Therefore, Daniel would free fall from a height of approximately 33.428 meters on the "Giant Drop" ride at Great America.
