An orange fruit drop to the ground from the top of a tree 45m tall. How long does it take to reach the ground (g = 10m/ s)
5t^2 = 45
3m
To determine the time it takes for the orange fruit to reach the ground, we can use the kinematic equation for motion in the vertical direction:
h = (1/2)gt^2
Where:
h = height (45m)
g = acceleration due to gravity (10m/s^2)
t = time
We need to solve for t, so rearranging the equation:
t^2 = (2h)/g
Plugging in the given values:
t^2 = (2 * 45) / 10
t^2 = 9
Taking the square root of both sides:
t = √9
t = 3 seconds
Therefore, it takes approximately 3 seconds for the orange fruit to reach the ground.
