Suzy drops a rock from the roof of her house. Mary sees the rock pass her 2.7 m tall window in 0.129 sec. From how high above the top of the window was the rock dropped? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Answer in units of m.

Respuesta :

Answer:

h = 22.35 m

Explanation:

given,

initial speed of the rock,u = 0 m/s

length of the window,l = 2.7 m

time taken to cross the window,t = 0.129 s

Speed of the rock when it crosses the window

[tex]v = \dfrac{l}{t}[/tex]

[tex]v = \dfrac{2.7}{0.129}[/tex]

  v = 20.93 m/s

height of the building above the window

using equation of motion

v² = u² + 2 g h

20.93² = 0² + 2 x 9.8 x h

h = 22.35 m

Hence, the height of the building above the top of window is equal to h = 22.35 m
