A fruit drop from the top of a 20m tall the time it take the fruit to reach the grounds
To calculate the time it takes for a fruit to drop from the top of a 20m tall object, we can use the equation for free fall.
The equation to calculate the time of free fall is:
t = √(2h/g)
where:
t = time in seconds
h = height in meters
g = acceleration due to gravity, approximately 9.8 m/s² on Earth
Plugging in the given height of 20m into the equation:
t = √(2 * 20 / 9.8)
t ≈ √(40 / 9.8)
t ≈ √4.08
t ≈ 2.02 seconds
Therefore, it takes approximately 2.02 seconds for the fruit to reach the ground.
