Answer:
time = 2.48 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data:
distance = 100 foot
Initial velocity = 0 because it was held and being released.
acceleration is gravitational force
gravitational force in feet per second = 32.2 ft/s²
formula for distance is s = ut +(1/2)at² where s = distance , u = intial velocity , a = acceleration and t = time
s = ut +(1/2)at²
100 = 0(t) + (1/2)(32.2)t²
100 = 16.2t²
100/16.2 = t²
therefore t = 2.484
t = 2.48 seconds (to 2 decimal places)
