Answer:
The penny will hit the ground at 6.39 seconds
Explanation:
Free Fall
The penny is dropped from a height of y=200 m. The equation of the height on a free-fall motion is given by:
[tex]\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}[/tex]
Where [tex]g=9.8\ m/s^2[/tex], and t is the time.
Solving for t:
[tex]\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}}[/tex]
Using the value y=200:
[tex]\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2*200}{9.8}}[/tex]
t=6.39 sec
The penny will hit the ground at 6.39 seconds
