Tobias dropped a tennis ball from a height of 60 meters. the time in seconds it takes for the ball to fall is 60 feet is 0.25 √60. find three sets of approximations for the amount of time it will take. then determine how long it will take for the ball to hit the ground.

-1)The three sets of approximation of time will be

Time taken to fall tennis ball from height of 60 m =35.41014 s ≈35.410 s (to the nearest thousandth)

≈35.41s  (to the nearest hundredth)

≈35.5 seconds(to the nearest tenth)

2)Time by the ball to hit the ground =35.5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken to fall tennis ball from height of 60 feet =  0.25 √60 s

So,time taken to fall tennis ball from height of 1 foot =0.25√60 divided by 60=

We know that 1 m = 0.3048 foot

⇒60 m =60×0.3048=18.288 feet

therefore, Time taken to fall tennis ball from height of 60 m = 18.288 ×time taken to fall tennis ball from height of 1 foot=

∴Time taken to fall tennis ball from height of 60 m =35.41014 s ≈35.410 s (to the nearest thousandth)

≈35.41s  (to the nearest hundredth)

≈35.5 seconds(to the nearest tenth)
