Apenny fell off the top of the building and hit the sidewalk below 3.1 seconds later how many meters did the penny fall to the sidewalk

To solve this we are going to use the free distance fallen formula: 
where
is the distance
is the gravity of Earth 
is the time in seconds

We know from our problem that the penny fell off the top of the building and hit the sidewalk below 3.1 seconds later, so . Lets replace the value in our formula:


meters

We can conclude that the penny fell a distance of 47.098 meters
