Answer:
t = 2.2 s
Explanation:
Given that,
Height of the roof, h = 24.15 m
The initial velocity of the pumpkin, u = 0
We need to find the time taken for the pumpkin to hit the ground. Let the time be t. Using second equation of kinematics to find it as follows :
[tex]h=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]
Here, u = 0 and a = g
[tex]h=\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2\\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2h}{g}} \\\\t=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 24.15}{9.8}} \\\\t=2.22\ s[/tex]
So, it will take 2.22 s for the pumpkin to hit the ground.
