Fairly Simple Problem help... kinda urgent

a ball is dropped off the roof of a building and passes a 3 meter window in a quarter of a second. How high is the roof from the top of the window?

 

[StatusX]

Set the distance to the window to some unknown h and calculate the time it would take to fall to h, the time it would take to fall to h-3, and solve for h given this difference is 1/4 second.

 

[quicknote]

This is a fairly simple problem that can be solved using the equation d = 1/2gt^2, where d is the distance, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2), and t is the time. In this case, we know that the distance traveled is 3 meters and the time is 1/4 of a second. Plugging in these values, we get:

3 = 1/2 * 9.8 * (1/4)^2

Solving for the height (d), we get:

d = 3.125 meters

Therefore, the height of the roof from the top of the window is 3.125 meters. It is important to note that this solution assumes that the ball is dropped from rest and neglects air resistance. If these factors are taken into consideration, the solution may be slightly different.
