Question

A 60kg man jumps off a 30 foot building. Assuming he falls from rest and there is negligible air resistance, how long will it take him to reach the ground?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.37 seconds before.... splat !

Explanation:

y = y0 + v0 t + 1/2 a t^2      y0 = 30       y = 0

                    v0 = 0 ( from rest)

                            a = - 32.2 ft/s^2

0 = 30 - 1/2 * 32.2 * t^2

t=1.366 seconds                    Note that   mass   is irrelevant.
