Aball is dropped from the top of a building. the balls fall 3 times farther during its last second of freefall than it did during its third second of freefall. the ball fell 4.9 meters during its first second, how tall is the building and how much time is the ball in the air?

Height of building = 313.6 meter.

The ball is in air for 8 seconds.

Explanation:

We have equation of motion , , s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

We have u = 0 m/s and s = 4.9 when t = 1 seconds.

Distance fallen in third second = Distance fallen till third seconds - Distance fallen till two seconds

Let the time to reach ground be k seconds.

Distance fallen in second = Distance fallen till k seconds - Distance fallen till (k-1) seconds =

  We have Distance fallen in second  =  3*Distance fallen in third second

                                     = 24.5*3 = 73.5 meter.

  So 4.9(2k-1) = 73.5

       k = 8 seconds.

  So distance fallen in eighth second = 3*Distance fallen in third second

  Height of building = Distance fallen till 8 seconds

                                 =

The ball is in air for 8 seconds.

hi there if you are asking for conformation that wavelingth is the correct answer is wrong it is the answer is frequency. : )

i hope this you out, have a wonderful day
