23. A ball is dropped from 215m. How long will it take to reach the ground?

6.6 s.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height (h) = 215 m

Time (t) =..?

Thus, we can obtain the time taken for the ball to get to the ground by applying the following formula:

h = ½gt²

Where:

h is the height.

g is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time to taken.

With the above formula, the time taken for the ball to get to the ground can be obtained as follow:

Height (h) = 215 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) =..?

h = ½gt²

215 = ½ × 9.8 × t²

215 = 4.9 × t²

Divide both side by 4.9

215 / 4.9 = t²

Take the square root of both side.

t = √(215 / 4.9)

t = 6.6 s

Therefore, it will take 6.6 s for the ball to get to the ground.
