The pilot of a helicopter drops a lead brick from a height of 500 m. (assume no air resistance and g~10 m/s2) roles Evalu How long does it take to reach the ground?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The  value  is  [tex]t = 10 \  s[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  height is  [tex]h = 500 \ m[/tex]

  The acceleration is  [tex]g =  10 \  m/s[/tex]

 

Generally from the second equation of motion we have that

    [tex]h  =  ut  +  \frac{1}{2} a t^2[/tex]

Here  the initial velocity u =  0  m/s  given that the stone started from rest

       So

            [tex]500 =  0 (t) +0.5 *  (10) t^2[/tex]

=>         [tex]t = 10 \  s[/tex]
