@Mertsj Help please?

Answer 6

Don't you have a formula or equation given?

Answer 7

Oh yeah, I have the question before it I guess;

Airplanes are often used to drop water on forest fires in an effort to stop the spread of the fire. The time t it takes the water to travel from height h to the ground can be derived from the equation h = 1/2 • gt2 where g is the acceleration due to gravity (32 feet/second2).

Answer 8

h=1/2gt^2
1024=1/2(32)t^2

Answer 9

Can you solve that?

Answer 10

I got 8, is that right?
