Imagine a marble dropped from a tall building at 1.62 meters per second. How long would the marble be in the air.
Velocity= Gravitational acceleration x time
To find the time the marble would be in the air, we can use the equation:
Velocity = Gravitational acceleration * Time
Given that the velocity of the marble is 1.62 meters per second and the gravitational acceleration is approximately 9.8 meters per second squared, we can rearrange the equation to solve for time:
Time = Velocity / Gravitational acceleration
Substituting the given values, we have:
Time = 1.62 m/s / 9.8 m/s^2
Therefore, the marble would be in the air for approximately 0.1653 seconds.
