Your drop a coin from the top of a hundred-story building (1000m). If you ignore air resistance, how fast will it be falling right before it hits the ground? How long does it take to hit the ground?

    H=1/2*g*t²,

    so t=√ (2h/g) = 10√2 s

    v=gt=100√2 m/s

    consider the motion of con from top to bottom

    Y = vertical displacement = 1000 m

    a = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

    v₀ = initial velocity at the top = 0 m/s

    v = final velocity at the bottom = ?

    using the kinematics equation

    v² = v²₀ + 2 aY

    v² = 0² + 2 (9.8) (1000)

    v = 140 m/s

    t = time taken to hit the ground

    Using the equation

    v = v₀ + at

    140 = 0 + 9.8 t

    t = 14.3 sec
