Question
The leaning tower of Pisa is about 56 meters tall. A ball released from the top takes 3.4 seconds to reach the ground. The final velocity of the ball before it hits the ground is 33 meters/second. Assuming that the ball experienced a constant acceleration throughout this descent, calculate the magnitude of the acceleration. A. 0.24 g

Answer:
Magnitude of the acceleration(g) = 9.7 meters/second²
Explanation:
Given:
Height of tower = 56 meter
Time taken = 3.4 second
Final velocity (v) = 33 meters/second
Initial velocity (u) = 0 meters/second
Find:
Magnitude of the acceleration(g)
Computation:
Using first equation of motion:
v = u + at
Magnitude of the acceleration(g)
v = u + gt
33 = 0 + g(3.4)
g = 33 / 3.4
g = 9.7 meters/second²
Magnitude of the acceleration(g) = 9.7 meters/second²
