Question

A water balloon is dropped off the top of a building and bursts when it hits

the ground 6 seconds later. What is the height of the building?

Answer 1

The building is 176.4 meters high.

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the formula for kinematics of an accelerated object (in this case acceleration of gravity):

Distance travelled = 1/2 g t^2

Distance travelled = 1/2 9.8 (6)^2 = 176.4 meters
