Answer:
t = 3.29 seconds
Explanation:
It is given that,
Height of the Eiffel tower is 60 m
Initial speed of a euro, u = 2 m/s
It will move under the action of gravity in the downward direction. Firstly, we can find the final velocity as follows :
[tex]v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\v=\sqrt{u^2+2ad} \\\\v=\sqrt{(2)^2+2\times 9.81\times 60} \\\\v=34.36\ m/s[/tex]
Let t is the time taken by the euro to hit the ground. It can be calculated as :
[tex]v=u+at\\\\t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\\t=\dfrac{34.36-2}{9.81}\\\\t=3.29\ s[/tex]
Hence, it will take 3.29 seconds to hit the ground.
