Question

Teaching myself physics... Can someone help haha? Im stumped on this one. show work please. all steps and thoughts


44.)A falling stone takes .28s to travel past a window 2.2m tall. From what height above the top of the window did the stone fall?

Answer 1

Alright, let's arbitrarily define the bottom of our window to be our origin. Being that the window's 2.2m long, x-x_0=-2.2=v_0t+(1/2)at^2 a la kinematics. Our acceleration is that of gravity. The time is .28 seconds. So, you can solve it from here, yes?

Answer 2

Yes, thanks you :3
