Answer:

Explanation:

Givens

d = 8.5 meters

vi = 0

a = 9.81

t = ?

Formula

d = vi * t + 1/2 a t^2

Solution

8.5 = 0 + 1/2 9.81 * t^2       multiply both sides by 2

8.5 = 4.095 t^2                  Divide both sides by 4.095

8.5/4.095 = t^2

1.7329 = t^2                       Take the square root of both sides

t = 1.316

It takes 1.316 seconds to hit the ground.
