In the video, I drop a ball off a three-story balcony. We know that objects in freefall follow the equation for height h, in meters, h = - 4.9 t 2 + c h = - 4.9 t 2 + c, where t is time in seconds, and c is the initial height. A student timed the drop at 1.48 seconds.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The equation is

    h (t) = - 4.9t² + c

    where h (t) is the height after its fall and c is the height from which it fell. We know that when an object hits the ground, its height is 0. Therefore, h (t) = 0 when the object is on the ground. If we want to solve for the height from which the object fell, we have to sub the time in for t and solve for c when h (t) = 0:

    0 = - 4.9 (1.48) ² + c and

    0 = - 10.73296 + c so

    c = 10.73296 meters
