Answer:
0.71s
Explanation:
From Newton’s law of motion ;
V =U +gt
V is the final velocity or speed
U is the initial velocity or speed
g is acceleration of free fall due to gravity given as 9.8m/S2
Note when a body moves horizontally down its said to do so with the aid of the force of gravity
Hence the final velocity is aided by gravity.
From the above formula;
t =V-U/ g
t= 12-5/ 9.8 = 0.71s
