Answer:
2.26s
Explanation:
The time it takes for the egg to hit the ground can be calculated using the formula:
S = ut + 1/2at²
Where; S = distance of handball from ground (m)
t = time (s)
a = acceleration due to gravity (9.8m/s²)
u = initial velocity = 0m/s
Inserting our values into the formula, we have:
25 = (0 × t) + 1/2 (9.8 × t²)
25 = 0 + 9.8t²/2
25 = 9.8t²/2
25 × 2 = 9.8t²
50 = 9.8t²
t² = 50/9.8
t² = 5.102
t = √5.102
t = 2.258
t = 2.26s
