Answer :
Answer:
Explanation:
The time to hit the ground will be same as time taken to fall from the height of 9.8 m with initial vertical velocity of zero .
Considering vertical displacement
initial velocity u = 0
displacement s = 9.8 m
acceleration a = g = 9.8 m /s²
time t = ?
s = ut + 1/2 g t²
9.8 = 0 + .5 x 9.8 x t²
t² = 2
t = √2 = 1.4 s
