Abird picks up a golf ball and drops it while flying 81 feet above the ground. the ball hits the top of a 32-foot-tall pine tree then bounces down to the ground. after how many seconds does the ball hit the tree?

A bird picks up a golf ball and drops it while flying 81 feet above the ground

The ball hits the top of 32 foot - tall pine tree

Now distance travelled by the ball till hitting the pine tree = 81 - 32

= 49 feet

now we have to convert feet into metre

49 feet = 14.93 metre

By applying formula s = ut + 1/2at^2

here initial velocity u = 0

And acceleration is g

therefore, 14.93 = 1/2*9.8*t^2

i.e. 14.93 = 4.9*t^2

i.e. t^2 = 14.93/4.9 = 3.047

i.e. t = 1.75 secs

Therefore ball hits the tree after 1.75 secs
