To the nearest tenth of a second, how much time would it take the penny to hit the ground? a. 0.5 seconds b. 0.6 seconds c. 0.7 seconds d. 0.8 seconds

Option B. 0.6 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

As given in the table at time t = 0 the maximum height of the penny is 2 meters.

In simpler way we can say the penny has been throw from a height of 2 meters.

Now this process can be represented by the equation of motion

For free fall u = 0

So

where h = 2 meters

and g = 9.81 m/sec²

By putting these values in the equation

t = √0.4077 = 0.6385 seconds

or t = 0.6 seconds

Answer is option B. 0.6 seconds

h
