Answer:
t = 1.75
t = 0.04
Explanation:
a)
For part 1 we want to use a kenamatic equation with constant acceleration:
X = 1/2*a*t^2
isolate time
t = sqrt(2X / a)
Plugin known variables. Acceleration is the force of gravity which is 9.8 m/s^2
t = sqrt(2*15m / 9.8m/s^2)
t = 1.75 s
b)
The speed of sound travels at a constant speed therefore we don't need acceleration and can use the equation:
v = d / t
isolate time
t = d / v
plug in known variables
t = 15m / 340m/s
t = 0.04 s
