To solve the problem step-by-step, we will follow the principles of motion under gravity. ### Step 1: Understand the problem We have a ball dropped from the top of a building that takes 0.5 seconds to clear a window of height 4.9 meters. We need to find the height of the building above the window. ### Step 2: Define variables Let: - \( H \) = height of the building above the window (in meters) ...

A ball is dropped from the top of a building. The ball takes 0.5s to fall the 3m length of a window some distance from the to of the building. If the speed of the ball at the top and at the bottom of the window are v_(T) and v_(T) respectively, then (g=9.8m//s^(2))

A ball is dropped from the top of a building .It takes 0.5 s to fall past the 3m length of a window some distance from the top of the building .If the velocity of the ball at the top and at the bottom of the window are V_(T) and V_(B) respectively then V_(T)+V_(B)=?

A ball is dropped from the top of a building the ball takes 0.5 s to fall past the 3 m length of a window at certain distance from the top of the building. Speed of the ball as it crosses the top edge of the window is (g=10 m//s^(2))

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.

A steel ball is dropped from th roof of a building. A man standing in front of a 1-m high window in the building notes tha the ball takes 0.1 s to the fall from the top to the boottom of the window. The ball continues to fall and strikes the ground. On striking the ground, the ball gers rebounded with the same speed with which it hits the ground. If the ball reappears at the bottom of the window 2 s after passing the bottom of the window on the way down, dind the height of the building.

A steel ball is dropped from the roof of a building .An observer standing in front of a window 1.25 m high notes that the ball takes 1/8 s to fall from the top to the bottom of the window .The ball reappears at the bottom of the window 2s after passing it on the way down,if the collision between the ball reappears at the bottom of the window 2s after passing it on the way down.If the collision between the ball and the ground is perfectly elastic,then find the height of the building?Take g=10 m//s^(2) .

A small object is dropped from the top of a building and- falls to the ground. As it falls, accelerating due to gravity, it passes window.
