Question

If it takes 5 seconds for the baseball to fall, how far from the tower will it land?

I used vertical distance formula dy=1/2(g)t^2 and got 122.5 but its one of the answers in the multiple choice. Please help.

Answer 1

D=(1/2)(a)(t)^2
D=(0.5)(9.8)(5)^2
D=122.5

Then use the closest answer to the multiple choice.
