In a cartoon, a malfunctioning cannon fires a hungry coyote towards the bottom of a cliff with an initial rate of 100 feet per second. If the cliff is 1250 feet tall, how long will it take the coyote to reach the desert floor? (To account for gravity, use the formula d = rt + 16t^2, where d =distance, r = initial rate, and t = time).

Answer:

12.5 seconds

Explanation:

You simply divide 100 from 1,250 to get the amount of seconds.

As for the gravity, sorry I couldn't help you with that.
