A ball is dropped from the top of a building. The ball takes `0.50`s to fall past the 3m length of a window, which is some distance below the top of the building.
(a) How fast was the ball going as it passed the top of the window?
(b) How far is the top of the window from the point at which the ball was dropped?
Assume acceleration g in free fall due to gravity to be `10 m//s^(2)` downwards.

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem step by step, we will break it into two parts as per the question. ### Part (a): How fast was the ball going as it passed the top of the window? 1. **Understanding the Problem**: - The ball is dropped from the top of a building and takes 0.5 seconds to pass a 3-meter window. - We need to find the velocity of the ball at the top of the window (denote this velocity as \( v_1 \)). ...
