Key Points
The time taken by an object to fall freely under gravity is given by the formula: t = √(2h/g)
where:
t is the time taken to fall
h is the height of the object
g is the acceleration due to gravity (≈ 9.8 m/s²)
In this case, h = 16 m and g = 9.8 m/s², so:
t = √(2 * 16 m / 9.8 m/s²) ≈ 1.8 s
Therefore, the object will take approximately 1.8 seconds to strike the ground.
