Answer:
3.19 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Phone gets dropped from a Height = 150 ft
To find:
Time taken for the phone to reach the ground = ?
Solution:
First of all, let us learn about the formula of distance in terms of Initial speed u; Time t and Acceleration a:
[tex]s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]
Here the phone is dropped from a height so a = g m/[tex]s^2[/tex] i.e. acceleration due to gravity.
g = 9.8 m/[tex]s^2[/tex]
s = 150 ft
Initial velocity, u = 0
Putting all the values in the formula:
[tex]150=0 t+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\Rightarrow 50=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8 \times t^2\\\Rightarrow t^2=\dfrac{50}{4.9 }\\\Rightarrow t^2=10.20\\\Rightarrow t = 3.19\ sec[/tex]
So, the time taken is 3.19 seconds.
